The New York Yankees 98 Season :: American America History

The New York northerns 98 SeasonAs anyone on the face of the cultured world knows by now , the New York Yankees go through just perfect one of the most dominating seasons in the history of professional sports. In the process, as many phemomenoms before them , sports or otherwise, they have captivated not only a city and a nation but much(prenominal) of the planet as well. I have seen Pakistani and Korean tourists see New York for the first time buying and proudly wearing Yankee caps and T-shirts. These people , obviously, know little or nothing about the halting and are not truly baseball fans but are evidence to the Yanks compelling accomplishments.But the full appreciation of what this squad has done in 1998 belongs mainly to the dyed in the wool baseball fan. The guy whos been interest baseball as a religion , collecting cards , information box scores and fantasying about being a big union hero long before his puberty began. It is among this elite group where now, in t he afterglow of the success and celebration , that the endless debate over whether this is the greatest team of all time will rage in alwaysy console room, bar room and office for most of this offseason.Many of the self announced baseball gurus from all of the radio and TV talk shows and web sites have decided to take the politically correct approach and submit that you vernacular in reality equality this team with the great ones of eras past. They say its an apples and oranges comparison. I say this is a load You can , and if youre a true fan , should compare them. And you can draw definitive conclusions.I agree that the debate over the greatest in most arenas is hopelessly subjective. Who was a greater professorship , Lincoln or Roosevelt? If you ask who was the sexiest female screen star ever , depending on who you talk to and what their tastes were , youd be as likely to hear jean Harlow or Lana Turner as Sharon Stone.The key difference here is that these qualities cann ot really be quantitatively measured. The fundamentals of being a great leader or being sexy have not really evolved over the centuries. Our interpretation of these things may have but not the fundamental qualities themselves. So comparing these qualities from different eras would be very very subjective.
