I kinda think that the whole steroid, bash brothers thing made some people sour on the accomplishment. I think that it’s pretty cool to see an underdog win the series. I think it was more of a special season instead of a special team, historically anyways.
WIRE TO WIRE. How many teams have done that? FIVE. In a hundred and fifty years.
When they talk all time great teams they talk about the '27 Yankees, for instance. They don't talk about the '25 through '30 Yankees, do they? I didn't say anything about dynasties, which is what you're talking about.
