I was born in 1992. By the time I was eight, the Yankees had already won four World Series titles with one of the best cores ever assembled. Although I don’t remember much of the 1996 World Series that kickstarted the dynasty — I mean, I was only four, after all — I am still chasing the high of watching the 1998, 1999, and 2000 World Series victories over 21 years later.
Let me put that statement into perspective. Since 2000, I have witnessed my favourite sports teams win the whole thing just twice: once when the Yankees won the World Series in 2009, and again 10 years later when Kawhi Leonard the Toronto Raptors won the franchise’s first NBA title.
