The 1998 New York Yankees were indeed a special unit. In the annals of baseball history, they will certainly go down as one of the best ever. With an all-time best American League record of 114-48, a record that was actually eclipsed three years later by the 2001 Seattle Mariners, this Yankees team went on an historic run.
On a roster that included such stars as Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Andy Pettitte, David Wells, and Mariano Rivera among so many others, one player truly enjoyed the ride of his life during the stretch run toward that 24th World Series title – Outfielder Shane Spencer.
