Funny, Costas proclaimed after the Braves won in 1995 the team of the decade. Oh how a difference of 4 years and 3 titles changed who the team of the 90's was.
The Braves played 5 WS in 1990s - more than any team in that decade - from the beginning (1991) to the end (1990), they also won all division titles. It's sad that Braves only won 1 WS, but Yankees only played 3 in last 4 years of 1990s.
Felix- your point is? Costas had them the team of the 90's before they won in 1995. Still don't see how at that point. Toronto won back to back and beat the Braves in the World Series. There is no way the Braves should have ever been "team of the 90's"
+Felix Mendelssohn But where's the multiple WS titles to go along them? Nowhere to be found. Saying the Atlanta Braves are the team of the 1990s based on division titles and World Series appearances is like saying the New York Yankees should be the team of the 1980s because they won more games than anybody else in that decade. C'Mon Man.
Then perhaps the Yankees are the team of the 2000s. Two titles in that decade, and most regular season wins in those 10 years right? Red Sox had two titles too but weren't as consistent.

Al is the only one on the current NBC roster to have any major league baseball experience with covering numerous WS in the 80's. While Tirico seems to be the face of NBC Sports for the future, he has no experience covering professional baseball, so it would be naive and unlikely that they would put him in such a prestigous spot so early. It would be more likely to see him on the 2nd or 3rd team or hosting pre-and-post-game duties (like he is doing now on Sunday Night Football) to gain his footing with the sport before he eventually assumes the prominent position.
The difference between Bob Costas and Joe Buck is that Costas genuinely loved/enjoyed covering baseball. Joe Buck seems to only be in it for the money and "prestige" of being able to cover baseball's biggest events.

What makes things even worse, is that Joe Buck has been the de facto national TV voice of MLB (not counting cable outlets like ESPN & TBS) since at least, the late '90s.
were***** the supreme rulers. Actually, the supreme rulers of MLB are the Boston Red Sox: *4 world series titles in 20 years*. That's a fact and this is coming from a die-hard Yankee Fan
Roger Clemens went from being hated by all Yankees fans to being our hero and finally getting the first of his 2 World series rings, but he is still a prick..even though he was our prick....we loved him this night for winning it for us..
@@courtgizzle i have a question man. Now obviously judging off your picture you are black so i wanted to get your perspective on this. Why do you think baseball is becoming less popular among the black community?
Honestly, seeing Roger touch the Babe Ruth memorial in the beginning nearly made me cry, that place was always "The house that Ruth built". So many great things happened at that stadium, and they tore it down. At least they built the new one literally across the street.
I remember when Pauly lost his pops prior to this win Must of been tough being a world champ and then having to bury your dad in a day or so Yankees i grew up on... Been alive for (5)
He was right. The Braves starters have discussed it many times: how people will give all the credit to Jeter and Rivera, and they forget Cone, Pettitte, El Duque, and Clemens. Because of Maddux, Glavine, and Smoltz, the Braves always had the advantage in the starting rotation, but the Braves starters will tell you the Yanks weren’t all that far behind.
Even when watching this, I kind of felt that NBC was one foot out the door w/ their MLB coverage following the failure of the Baseball Network joint venture from 1994-95. They didn't broadcast any regular season games what so ever from 1996-2000. By 1999, I tried to make a consciousness decision to tape record as many NBC MLB broadcasts (I felt bad that I was too young to really appreciate the "glory days" w/ Vin Scully and company during the '80s) as possible.
@Harry Engel And it takes more than just luck to have that kind of success as well, especially since multiple postseason rounds tends to increase the risk of an upset.
@Jonathan McCully As I said before in another discussion, 1999 team also won against Tampa Bay. Your logic doesn't make a shred of sense. While not as bad as Chiefs fans trying to make tons of twists of info to prop up Derrick Thomas over LT but still.
And Joe Morgan saying that the '99 club was a "much sounder ballclub" than the team that won 114 games the year prior is just hilarious, I mean, how in the world do you actually downplay the accomplishments of the '98 team, in any way, when they were a World Series winner and had 114 wins? The only difference is they were 11-2 in the playoffs, not 11-1.
The 1999 team had a chip on their shoulders, it was an opportunity to show that they were for real. They weren't able to repeat in 1997, this one gives them a chance to prove that they can follow up their 1998 season well enough.
He downplays the 98 Yankees because he wants people to think the 76 Reds are the best team of all time when in fact the 98 Yankees were better. Just him coping and trying to protect his teams legacy.
I liked it better when The MLB was on NBC and ABC. The MLB being on Fox is a joke just like With The NBA being on ESPN is a joke i wish it was still on NBC or better yet NBC and CBS should both have the NBA package. just like The NFL when they it was CBS and NBC and ABC covering The NFL. it was a whole lot better for everybody.
Ah the better of the Boone boys…yet everyone remembers Aaron because that insane 11th inning first pitch walk off homer in game 7 of the 2003 ALCS. I remember where I was and who I was with on that one.
Not to mention that homer in 2003 was probably the sole reason anyone would defend the guy's god-awful managerial decisions that has gotten worse as time went by.
I was there. Somebody offered me $600 in cash for my ticket on my way in. No thanks. I wouldn’t know now where the $600 went if I’d sold it. But I know now that I was there.
The 1996 to 2001 New York Yankees have to be considered the greatest all-time Baseball dynasty. The reason for this is that the previous Yankee teams that had won 4 and 5 world championships respectively, only had to win a single series in order to win the Championship, they did not have to win any playoffs prior to playing in the Series --- in those days all you had to do was finish in first place and you were automatically in. Therefore, making it to 5 world series in six years (winning 4 of them) and winning 11 consecutive playoff series over those last 4 years is something that in the modern era is a greater and more difficult accomplishment than what those Yankee teams from the 30's and 50's, as great as they were, had to pull off. Of course, this is just one man's opinion.
Was this Greg Maddux or Roger Clemens? I counted 17 ground balls. 17 grounders, 2 pop-ups, his last pitch was a single over short for the only hit to the outfield. 4 Ks. He was playing hurt most of the season with his groin & hamstring so he didn't have his high velocity, but went to his 2 seamer & splitter for grounders. Dude wanted to win that clincher.
NBC missing out on the MLB contract was a huge missed opportunity. It would've likely bolstered the NBC Sports Network and helped make them a more legitimate competitor to ESPN. Also, having MLB would've provided a great promotional tool for NBC's otherwise weak primetime programming outside of the NFL season.
So Clemens gets a lot of hate. But steroids weren’t banned by MLB until 2005. So can we please get this guy in Cooperstown where he belongs already? If Mike Mussina got in surely Rocket deserves a plaque? (Not dissing Mussina either BTW, just saying…)
Actually viju patel, TheMxcnut describes which team has the most or tied for the most World Championships in every decade since the World Series was implemented in 1903. The Reds won two in the 1970s with the Big Red Machine tied with the Pirates and Yankees, but the Oakland Athletics won 3 in that decade.
The Atlanta Braves will always be the team of the 90s. In the regular season they had a winning record against every MLB team and they had a winning record against every team in both leagues since interleague play began that decade. The Braves had a winning record against every team including the Yankees, Blue Jays and Marlins. Yes they lost to some of those same teams in the playoffs but the Braves won the 1995 World Series and they won the most games overall. The Atlanta Braves dominated the sport of baseball for 14 seasons and won a World record 14 division championships. The Atlanta Braves are and always will be the team of the 90s! In the history books of sports that is their nickname and not the Yankees. The Braves were just better but the Yankees were at best the team of the late 90s but the for the whole decade the Braves dominated the sport.
Nah TolitoGangster, you're just jealous at the Yankees for taking the Braves' crown as team of the 1990s decade. Even when a comet or asteroid hits Planet Earth, it still won't change the fact the Yankees are the team of the 1990s with three World Championships to the Braves one. So, keep throwing insults, it still won't change. Yankees 3 World Championships in the 1990s > 1 Braves World Championship in the 1990s.
I don't entirely understand that because when NBC covered the GOTW from 1976-1989, ABC covered regular season games via Monday night and later Thursday night (in 1989) games as well as Sunday afternoon games in the the latter part of the season.
2:16:58 The difference between the Braves and Yankees. Chipper Jones acting as chipper as can be, laughing it up while his team was on the verge of being swept. If the Yankees were on the verge of being swept, I assure you there'd be NO laughing or joking in the dugout and if there was King George would've crushed them. That's the difference between a cheap, under achieving franchise that GREATLY benefited from two pitchers getting consistent strikes called a foot out of the strike zone for their entire careers and the greatest franchise in the history of professional sports. Men against boys. Funny how Maddox and Glavine were nothing special in the playoffs when the umps started calling it correctly. Yeah, I'll go ahead and say what most people already know but would never say. Neither Glavine OR Maddox would've been even remotely close to the HOF without the benefit of umpires calling absolutely ridiculous, insane, outside pitches that extra long bats couldn't hit if they tried for their entire careers. Maddox would've at least been a serviceable Major League pitcher but Glavine would've been nothing more than a guy who'd go out to throw a Home Run Derby during the All Star Break. A Maddox or Glavine strike was defined anywhere from 2 inches off the plate to the on deck circle. Out of all the instances of cheating in sports history, nothing tops the absolute BS of Glavine/Maddox of the 90's. They didn't even deserve to win ONE World Series in the 90's.
Meanwhile in the current day, a Braves team missing their best hitter and one of their best pitchers won a World Series against the group of cheaters that keep eliminating the current group of Yankees in the playoffs.
Fans care a lot more than the players . They care about winning and their legacies, but they don't have to be all dour bc they lost. They gave it their best shot and didn't work out.
Think that was Leyritz. The cameraman was getting up in Nelly's face, knowing he was grieving the loss of his Dad. Jimmy was saying 'leave him alone', giving him some breathing room to let go with just his teammates surrounding him. So symbolic of this club.
1999 had better pitching 2009 had better offense 1999 team trailed for one+ inning vs. Texas (Game 2) had 2 comebacks in games 1 and 2 vs. Boston, including Bernie's extra inning walk-off HR came back from down 1 in 8th inning of Game 1 vs. Atlanta, Jeter bases loaded single off Maddux ties it, O'Neill single unties it huge game 3 comeback down 5-1 in the 5th leads to Curtis' walk-off 2009 vs. Twins ARod/Teixeira game ARod, Posada HRs in 7th tie and win Game 3 Angels Game 2 ARod ties it in 11th, win on error in 13th Game 6 they trail for 2 innings before a 3-run 4th Phillies took Game 1, only time either NYY team trailed a series Game 2 Teix/Matsui get to Pedro to comeback from down 1 Game 3 Yanks down by 3, ARod review HR, Pettitte/Damon hits give them lead in 5th and they don't look back Game 4, back-and-forth game all night, 2-out rally in 9th Damon singles then steals 2 bases on one play, ARod unties it and Posada RBI double finishes it All other games were never in question really. The 2009 postseason was definitely more entertaining, 1999 team never got pushed to a 6th game It's a tough call, the 1999 bullpen might be the deciding factor, whether or not they could shut down the 09 homer machine. The 2009 version might've wilted under the bright lights of the old Yankee Stadium, as ARod-led teams had so many times in the past.
1:52:00 How could they have gotten this call wrong? Never mind timing: the fact that the runner steps on Clemmens' leg means that his leg is evidently already across the bag. He's OUT!
This is the last World Series NBC would broadcasting which is too bad because I think their coverage exceeds what FOX gives. I would rather listen to Joe Morgan and Bob Costas than I would listen to John Smoltz and Joe Buck although I am a Braves fan, Their duo works better for me because Joe Buck sounds like a college professor giving a lecture while Bob's passion for the game keeps my attention. Watching baseball on FOX is painfully boring while NBC keeps it real.
Fox during the early years, didn't cover all 26 weeks of the regular season. They wouldn't begin their MLB coverage until Memorial Day weekend. Therefore, how hard could it have been to have NBC cover Saturday afternoon games in April leading up to Memorial Day weekend, when Fox was scheduled to start?
Many Years Later, Braves defeat Astros to win the 2021 World Series and Yankees defeated the Phillies to win the 2009 World Series …miss MLB on NBC…RIP Don Baylor And Don Zimmer….
They were the best team in the NL that year. Then got steamrolled. Maybe the Mets exhausted them the week before with the NLCS Games 5 & 6 going 15 innings and 11 innings respectively. But Game 3 really cemented the Braves' fate. This Yankee team did not give an inch. The Braves gave too many.
Nope, the actual team of the 1990s is the New York Yankees, not the Atlanta Scaredycats. Even a Red Sox fan knows that the Yankees are the actual team of the 1990s.
The Braves are the team of the first half of the decade, and the Yankees are the team of the second half of the decade. Overall the team of the decade is the Yankees.

@@courtgizzle i have a question man. Now obviously judging off your picture you are black so i wanted to get your perspective on this. Why do you think baseball is becoming less popular among the black community?
its 2023....this is still awesome
Yankees are so important to baseball and sports..team of the century well deserved....
Honestly, seeing Roger touch the Babe Ruth memorial in the beginning nearly made me cry, that place was always "The house that Ruth built". So many great things happened at that stadium, and they tore it down. At least they built the new one literally across the street.
Roger would've thrown at Ruth's head.
Aw, I feel bad for Paul :(
I remember when Pauly lost his pops prior to this win
Must of been tough being a world champ and then having to bury your dad in a day or so

Been alive for (5)
Wow, a world series games that goes just over 2 hours? Today, this game would go 3 hours minimum
Game basically took 3 hours (2:58). What are you talking about?
One of my favorite games ever
morgan..yankees have an underrated pitching staff..wtf cone,el duque pettitte and clemens in the 4 games
Fuck the Yankees.
@@greyk610 Fuck you too.
He was right. The Braves starters have discussed it many times: how people will give all the credit to Jeter and Rivera, and they forget Cone, Pettitte, El Duque, and Clemens. Because of Maddux, Glavine, and Smoltz, the Braves always had the advantage in the starting rotation, but the Braves starters will tell you the Yanks weren’t all that far behind.
Even when watching this, I kind of felt that NBC was one foot out the door w/ their MLB coverage following the failure of the Baseball Network joint venture from 1994-95. They didn't broadcast any regular season games what so ever from 1996-2000. By 1999, I tried to make a consciousness decision to tape record as many NBC MLB broadcasts (I felt bad that I was too young to really appreciate the "glory days" w/ Vin Scully and company during the '80s) as possible.

YANKEES 100% RULE...The Empire is and will rise again....This team was second best to 1998, but still amazing..
David Meyer they were lucky I thought they were better in 2000 and 2001
@@darrendoyle568 1999 Yankees won 98 games and were 11-1 in postseason play. They weren't lucky, they were that good.
@Harry Engel And it takes more than just luck to have that kind of success as well, especially since multiple postseason rounds tends to increase the risk of an upset.
@Jonathan McCully As I said before in another discussion, 1999 team also won against Tampa Bay. Your logic doesn't make a shred of sense. While not as bad as Chiefs fans trying to make tons of twists of info to prop up Derrick Thomas over LT but still.
7 years later
Still no empire risen 😂😂😂😂🗑️
And Joe Morgan saying that the '99 club was a "much sounder ballclub" than the team that won 114 games the year prior is just hilarious, I mean, how in the world do you actually downplay the accomplishments of the '98 team, in any way, when they were a World Series winner and had 114 wins? The only difference is they were 11-2 in the playoffs, not 11-1.
If you need it explained to you then you're an idiot
The 1999 team had a chip on their shoulders, it was an opportunity to show that they were for real. They weren't able to repeat in 1997, this one gives them a chance to prove that they can follow up their 1998 season well enough.
Troy Bannister he didn’t downplay the 98 team at all, the 99 team was better in the postseason. That’s all
He downplays the 98 Yankees because he wants people to think the 76 Reds are the best team of all time when in fact the 98 Yankees were better. Just him coping and trying to protect his teams legacy.
@Jonathan McCully Except the 1999 Yankees also won games against Tampa Bay as well.
Chuck Knoblauch. Damn I feel old already.
Imagine sweeping two consecutive world series opponents. What a buzzsaw
Bob Costas better than Buck
Fuck yes.
msu15 stfu bitch ass.
Except for the fact that they got Clemens from the Blue Jays
Respectfully disagree.
It’s not even a debate
I liked it better when The MLB was on NBC and ABC. The MLB being on Fox is a joke just like With The NBA being on ESPN is a joke i wish it was still on NBC or better yet NBC and CBS should both have the NBA package. just like The NFL when they it was CBS and NBC and ABC covering The NFL. it was a whole lot better for everybody.
How? I don't understand why it's a joke lmao
@@ritty1777 Joe Buck sucks ass at announcing baseball
I hated MLB ON CBS IN THE EARLY 90’s!! Those announcers SUCKED!!
Ah the better of the Boone boys…yet everyone remembers Aaron because that insane 11th inning first pitch walk off homer in game 7 of the 2003 ALCS. I remember where I was and who I was with on that one.
Not to mention that homer in 2003 was probably the sole reason anyone would defend the guy's god-awful managerial decisions that has gotten worse as time went by.
Man, I miss NBC's postseason theme
Keep dreaming TolitoGangster.
World Championships > League Pennants, Division titles, playoff appearances, total games won in a decade.
I was there. Somebody offered me $600 in cash for my ticket on my way in. No thanks. I wouldn’t know now where the $600 went if I’d sold it. But I know now that I was there.
The 1996 to 2001 New York Yankees have to be considered the greatest all-time Baseball dynasty. The reason for this is that the previous Yankee teams that had won 4 and 5 world championships respectively, only had to win a single series in order to win the Championship, they did not have to win any playoffs prior to playing in the Series --- in those days all you had to do was finish in first place and you were automatically in. Therefore, making it to 5 world series in six years (winning 4 of them) and winning 11 consecutive playoff series over those last 4 years is something that in the modern era is a greater and more difficult accomplishment than what those Yankee teams from the 30's and 50's, as great as they were, had to pull off. Of course, this is just one man's opinion.
The last World Series game that was on NBC. The following year FOX had it and have ever since.
Knoblauch was amazing in his first 8 seasons. He didn’t have a long career but in his time he managed 44 WAR. That’s crazy.
His 1996 was amazing...
Boy, That kid Jeter is going to be good...
we are the champions
ONE OF MY FAVORITE TEAMS EVER THE 1999 NEW YORK YANKEES
Was this Greg Maddux or Roger Clemens? I counted 17 ground balls.
17 grounders, 2 pop-ups, his last pitch was a single over short for the only hit to the outfield. 4 Ks.
He was playing hurt most of the season with his groin & hamstring so he didn't have his high velocity, but went to his 2 seamer & splitter for grounders. Dude wanted to win that clincher.
I snuck into this game for $50 in the 3rd!! I'll never forget it.
Yeah i love watching videos that have over 40 ads. Holy shit
I think Costas is one of the VERY BEST PLAY BY PLAY ANNOUNCERS OF ALL TIME!! ESPECIALLY IN BASEBALL ⚾️
Does anyone have the theme music NBC used during this series and the 1999 NLCS which they also broadcast between the Braves and Mets?
NBC missing out on the MLB contract was a huge missed opportunity. It would've likely bolstered the NBC Sports Network and helped make them a more legitimate competitor to ESPN. Also, having MLB would've provided a great promotional tool for NBC's otherwise weak primetime programming outside of the NFL season.
I might've NOT liked the Yankees back then (and still don't like the Yankees to this day), but I loved that old Yankee Stadium home run siren. XD
I was there!....Upper Deck - shallow right field
Just entertaining, well-played baseball.
That is why the Braves won more than anyone in the 90s,that is why they did win the World Series Championship
Clemens earned his stripes in this game....
So Clemens gets a lot of hate. But steroids weren’t banned by MLB until 2005. So can we please get this guy in Cooperstown where he belongs already? If Mike Mussina got in surely Rocket deserves a plaque? (Not dissing Mussina either BTW, just saying…)
Why won’t MLB sell these in a DVD with the radio broadcast included
Yankees de nueva york champion mlb 1999
Goooooo Yankees.
Costas had to do one hell of a 180 when he said "team of the decade:, considering what his call was after the Braves won the World Series in 1995.
Calling a team "team of the decade" in the middle of the decade is a bit of a stupid thing to do. There are still five more years.
Actual teams per decade...
1900s - Cubs(2 WS wins)
1910s - Red Sox (4 WS wins)
1920s - Yankees (3 WS wins)
1930s - Yankees (5 WS wins)
1940s - Yankees (4 WS wins)
1950s - Yankees (6 WS wins)
1960s - Yankees, Cardinals, Dodgers (2 WS wins each)
1970s - Athletics (3 WS wins)
1980s - Dodgers (2 WS wins)
1990s - Yankees (3 WS wins)
2000s - Yankees and Red Sox (2 WS wins)
Where's the Braves in this list? Nowhere to be found.
2010s (S.F.) Giants -- 3 WS wins
Actually viju patel, TheMxcnut describes which team has the most or tied for the most World Championships in every decade since the World Series was implemented in 1903.
The Reds won two in the 1970s with the Big Red Machine tied with the Pirates and Yankees, but the Oakland Athletics won 3 in that decade.
You should check out our old friend Tolito's comments. He's back.
It's a crime that they tore down the old Yankee Stadium
The Atlanta Braves will always be the team of the 90s. In the regular season they had a winning record against every MLB team and they had a winning record against every team in both leagues since interleague play began that decade. The Braves had a winning record against every team including the Yankees, Blue Jays and Marlins. Yes they lost to some of those same teams in the playoffs but the Braves won the 1995 World Series and they won the most games overall. The Atlanta Braves dominated the sport of baseball for 14 seasons and won a World record 14 division championships. The Atlanta Braves are and always will be the team of the 90s! In the history books of sports that is their nickname and not the Yankees. The Braves were just better but the Yankees were at best the team of the late 90s but the for the whole decade the Braves dominated the sport.
Nah TolitoGangster, you're just jealous at the Yankees for taking the Braves' crown as team of the 1990s decade.
Even when a comet or asteroid hits Planet Earth, it still won't change the fact the Yankees are the team of the 1990s with three World Championships to the Braves one.
So, keep throwing insults, it still won't change. Yankees 3 World Championships in the 1990s > 1 Braves World Championship in the 1990s.
I don't entirely understand that because when NBC covered the GOTW from 1976-1989, ABC covered regular season games via Monday night and later Thursday night (in 1989) games as well as Sunday afternoon games in the the latter part of the season.
2:16:58 The difference between the Braves and Yankees. Chipper Jones acting as chipper as can be, laughing it up while his team was on the verge of being swept. If the Yankees were on the verge of being swept, I assure you there'd be NO laughing or joking in the dugout and if there was King George would've crushed them. That's the difference between a cheap, under achieving franchise that GREATLY benefited from two pitchers getting consistent strikes called a foot out of the strike zone for their entire careers and the greatest franchise in the history of professional sports. Men against boys.
Funny how Maddox and Glavine were nothing special in the playoffs when the umps started calling it correctly. Yeah, I'll go ahead and say what most people already know but would never say. Neither Glavine OR Maddox would've been even remotely close to the HOF without the benefit of umpires calling absolutely ridiculous, insane, outside pitches that extra long bats couldn't hit if they tried for their entire careers. Maddox would've at least been a serviceable Major League pitcher but Glavine would've been nothing more than a guy who'd go out to throw a Home Run Derby during the All Star Break. A Maddox or Glavine strike was defined anywhere from 2 inches off the plate to the on deck circle. Out of all the instances of cheating in sports history, nothing tops the absolute BS of Glavine/Maddox of the 90's. They didn't even deserve to win ONE World Series in the 90's.
Bitter Mets fan?
Meanwhile in the current day, a Braves team missing their best hitter and one of their best pitchers won a World Series against the group of cheaters that keep eliminating the current group of Yankees in the playoffs.
Fans care a lot more than the players . They care about winning and their legacies, but they don't have to be all dour bc they lost. They gave it their best shot and didn't work out.
Tell us how you really feel. 😂😅
You sound like a mets fan 😂😂😂😂
i do not wont talk about that hit and run accident
there should be a game 3 of this series on youtube
nbc is always the best station for baseball and basketball
The music then: "It's the NBA on NBC..."
Awesome!
2:19:25 he slaps the camera man away hahaha
Think that was Leyritz. The cameraman was getting up in Nelly's face, knowing he was grieving the loss of his Dad. Jimmy was saying 'leave him alone', giving him some breathing room to let go with just his teammates surrounding him. So symbolic of this club.
this is the last ws game on NBC
The yakees are the best team ever in history of the baseball
1999 had better pitching
2009 had better offense
1999 team trailed for one+ inning vs. Texas (Game 2)
had 2 comebacks in games 1 and 2 vs. Boston, including Bernie's extra inning walk-off HR
came back from down 1 in 8th inning of Game 1 vs. Atlanta, Jeter bases loaded single off Maddux ties it, O'Neill single unties it
huge game 3 comeback down 5-1 in the 5th leads to Curtis' walk-off
2009 vs. Twins ARod/Teixeira game
ARod, Posada HRs in 7th tie and win Game 3
Angels Game 2 ARod ties it in 11th, win on error in 13th
Game 6 they trail for 2 innings before a 3-run 4th
Phillies took Game 1, only time either NYY team trailed a series
Game 2 Teix/Matsui get to Pedro to comeback from down 1
Game 3 Yanks down by 3, ARod review HR, Pettitte/Damon hits give them lead in 5th and they don't look back
Game 4, back-and-forth game all night, 2-out rally in 9th Damon singles then steals 2 bases on one play, ARod unties it and Posada RBI double finishes it
All other games were never in question really.
The 2009 postseason was definitely more entertaining, 1999 team never got pushed to a 6th game
It's a tough call, the 1999 bullpen might be the deciding factor, whether or not they could shut down the 09 homer machine. The 2009 version might've wilted under the bright lights of the old Yankee Stadium, as ARod-led teams had so many times in the past.
Successful, yes, but they're a soulless club with fair weather fans.

Driss Alami Unfortunately, they also have the worst fans.
1:52:00 How could they have gotten this call wrong? Never mind timing: the fact that the runner steps on Clemmens' leg means that his leg is evidently already across the bag. He's OUT!
This is the last World Series NBC would broadcasting which is too bad because I think their coverage exceeds what FOX gives.
I would rather listen to Joe Morgan and Bob Costas than I would listen to John Smoltz and Joe Buck although I am a Braves fan, Their duo works better for me because Joe Buck sounds like a college professor giving a lecture while Bob's passion for the game keeps my attention. Watching baseball on FOX is painfully boring while NBC keeps it real.
Bob Costas, 2000 was the last year of the 20th century. Not 1999.
Fox during the early years, didn't cover all 26 weeks of the regular season. They wouldn't begin their MLB coverage until Memorial Day weekend. Therefore, how hard could it have been to have NBC cover Saturday afternoon games in April leading up to Memorial Day weekend, when Fox was scheduled to start?
Many Years Later, Braves defeat Astros to win the 2021 World Series and Yankees defeated the Phillies to win the 2009 World Series …miss MLB on NBC…RIP Don Baylor And Don Zimmer….
When Yankees Were Yankees.
The Yankees broke the Braves tomahawk!
I honestly thought at the time the Braves would've put up a MUCH better fight...or am I crazy?
They were the best team in the NL that year. Then got steamrolled. Maybe the Mets exhausted them the week before with the NLCS Games 5 & 6 going 15 innings and 11 innings respectively.
But Game 3 really cemented the Braves' fate. This Yankee team did not give an inch. The Braves gave too many.
Same here.

Back to back to back
The yanks should use that crowd noise again… The one that goes “we ohh, wee ohh!”
The Red Sox used to use that sound effect as well, but I never liked it.
My father also passed away in 1999. On January 2nd I believe.
The first base umpire missed that call. The runner was definitely out.
Costas says team of the 90s is the braves and then Yankees are the team of the decade ?
Costas jumped the gun too soon in 1995.
It's fun to go through these late 90's, early 2000's games and try and figure out who was on steroids. If we only knew then what we know now.......
Nope, the actual team of the 1990s is the New York Yankees, not the Atlanta Scaredycats.
Even a Red Sox fan knows that the Yankees are the actual team of the 1990s.
Our old friend Tolito is at it again, check out the recent comments.
The Braves are the team of the first half of the decade, and the Yankees are the team of the second half of the decade. Overall the team of the decade is the Yankees.
I WOULD LIKE NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT PERSON THAT TRY HIT ME A CAR IN 1999. WITH ME AS FAN OF 1999 OAKLAND RAIDERS COACH BY HEAD COACH JON GRUDEN.
Hope World Series come back to NBC in 2014
It's too bad that Bob Costas' '80s MLB partner, Tony Kubek was long retired to be bothered with by this time.
