Born right around when the 1994 World Series was to be played, my memories of the dynasty Yankees of the late-90’s and early-00’s are sparse. To some extent, that’s a tough draw for people my age, as we missed out on one of the most entertaining times in history to be a Yankee fan.
On the other hand, we also missed out on the Yankees’ fallow early-90s period, and instead have treated to a life’s worth of quality baseball. But watching the 2023 Yankees limp through the summer has brought things into stark contrast.
