Answer 4

1975-76 Reds.
There has never been a better central line, with Bench, Morgan, Concepcion and Geronimo. They won something like 30 Gold Gloves in all. They also had Rose, Driessen, Perez, Foster and Griffey Sr. The starting rotations was formed by four studs who gave the manager 7+ innings day in and day out and had one of the best bullpens ever with Eastwick, Borbon, Darcy and McEnaney. That team was a joy to watch.

They were like a perfectly oiled baseball machine (the Red Machine they were called) that needed few bench players because all the regulars didn't need a day's rest. I remember the had Bill Plummer behind Bench and seldom used a PH named Ed Armbrister.

Answer 5

Well, since Bast was the Egyptian cat goddess, I guess that limits us to the Detroit Tigers, which had many great teams. I'll go with the 1968 edition, the Year of the Pitcher, with Denny McLain, Mickey Lolich and the gang including the great Al Kaline, Bill Freehan and many others.

Oh, you meant "best." My choice for that is unusual, if a bit partisan. Imagine a team with pitching so solid that it relegated Nolan Ryan to the spot starter role. Or one that outhit Hank Aaron and the Braves when said solid pitching collapsed.

Why pick the 1969 Mets indeed, when they could only muster two .300 hitters, one of whom was ineligible for the batting title?
Well, they made those hits count. They mustered 100 wins, after all! But what makes them the best team effort was because they were the best "team." All 25 roster players (in effect 26 due to National Guard duty and the occasional injury) made a personal difference, and that is not something that can be said about Murderers' Row.

For instance, while Cleon Jones led the league in hitting for most of the year, finishing behind only Roberto Clemente and Pete Rose, and he pounded Atlanta in the playoffs, he only got a few hits (which, again, counted) in the World Series. No matter, the slack was picked up by platooned infielder Al Weis, who tended to flirt with the Mendoza Line - neither the term nor the Seattle Mariners had been invented yet - but was the leading hitter of the World Series at .455 !!! More in the realm of reality were Donn Clendenon's three home runs, and his platoon mate, Eddie Kranepool, hit one too, as did Weis (!!!!!).

It did not hurt to have Tom Seaver anchoring the pitching staff, of course (25 wins and the Cy Young award)...with more bats maybe he would have won 30! And mind you, this is on a five-man rotation. Jerry Koosman picked up 19 more. Tug McGraw and Ron Taylor were solid in relief. And Nolan Ryan? He and his fastball helped put the nails in coffins belonging to the Braves and the Orioles - no wildness in the postseason! There weren't any slackers on the rest of the staff, either, just some bad breaks due to the light hitting.

Great fielding plays, squeeze bunts, the extra base taken at the right time...all the hallmarks of a winning team. Everyone else called it gremlins, and eventually became scared of them, except the Astros. After all, the other teams had no idea when disaster would strike them: a traditional rally by the heart of the order, a bloop single by a maligned hitter, Ron Swoboda rediscovering his home run swing in a tide of strikeouts, an impossible catch, even the starting pitchers driving in the only run in each game of a doubleheader (against the Pirates!) that the Mets swept. But the Mets earned those wins, game by game, even inning by inning.

The Mets weren't flashy, and they weren't gritty, though they had grit when they needed it. They were simply winners. Perhaps the Cubs had more talent that year, but the Mets used everything they had available, because they understood that no one else was going to do it for them. How else do you explain Tom Seaver's series of head-first slide in one game (he stole a base and took third on the resulting throwing error) in order to get an insurance run - and he didn't even get the run! - with the rest of the team holding the fragile lead out of sheer inspiration? Or players who were being steadily booed when they came out on the field getting the clutch base hit that won the game? (I can think of two instances of this.)

Ernie Banks remarked before one game against the Mets that year, "I knew Los Angeles won with pitching, but this is ridiculous. " He was probably still shaking his head when the Mets won the game...and the series...and the pennant...and the World Series.

Ernie Banks does not own a World Series ring. Al Weis, who started out with the White Sox, does. And while Nolan Ryan owns no World Series rings for all those years of no-hitters and assaults on assorted strikeout records, he does own one: from the best baseball team ever, the 1969 New York Mets.

Answer 6

Okay, it hurts me to say this, since I'm a diehard Mets fan and all, but I'm just gonna be fair. The Yankees is the best baseball team in the Major Leagues. Those 26 world series title are sure hard to beat.

Answer 7

New York Yankees 26 World Series Championships.

Answer 8

1998 Yankees. 114-48. 11-2 in the playoffs. They dominated the regular season and totally kicked *** in the playoffs (not FOLDED in the playoffs, Mariner fans and those who say that the 2001 Mariners were the best). The '98 Yanks had one of the best bullpens in modern baseball history which featured the best closer (especially in the playoffs) EVER.
The line up was solid up and down, with hitters who were patient and worked the count. They constantly got into team's bullpens and killed the other relievers. It wasn't all about the stars, either. Darryl Strawberry hit 24 homers in only 101 games. Scott Brosius his 19 homer with 98 r.b.i. in the #9 spot. No one had more than 28 homers and only two of them had over 100 r.b.i. Look at the stats: What other team in history had this much depth in their offense?
David Cone was 20-7 with a 3.55 e.r.a. David Wells went 18-4 with a 3.49 e.r.a. El Duque was 12-4 with a 3.13 e.r.a. in only 21 starts. Even Ramiro Mendoza went 10-2 with a 3.25 e.r.a. in long relief and spot starting.
Mo Rivera: 36 saves, 1.91 e.r.a., 3-0 in 54 games and he broke bats like CRAZY. Add in Mike Stanton and Jeff Nelson and you realize that that bullpen was SICK, especially in the playoffs. Mo, Stanton and Nelson gave up only 5 runs in around 25 innings in the playoffs. Mo himself had a 0.00 and 6 saves in 10 games (Torre uses him in non-save situations during the playoffs) during the playoff run. That was the best performance by a closer in the playoffs EVER.
Look at the stats, look at the playoff series. Outscoring the Rangers 9-1 in a 3 game sweep. Outscoring the Padres 26-13 in a 4 game World Series sweep. Only the offensive juggernaut of the Indians gave them a challenge but the Yanks beat them 4-2.
The 1927 Yankees are a close second but for modern baseball ,and probably all of baseball history, the 1998 Yankees stand above all others.

Answer 9

The 1998 yankees,,Even ESPN"S Who's NUM 1 show,had the 1998 yankees as the Num 1 team ever in Baseball,We had the Best record ever!!!

Answer 10

The Best Baseball Team Ever are the 1974 Oakland Athletics.

Answer 11

The 1927 Yankees featured six HOF'ers in their day-to-day lineup. While I detest the Yankees as an organization, it's hard to argue with a lineup like that one.

In that eternal tug-of-war between those who prefer pitching and those who prefer hitting, I come down squarely in the pro-pitching camp. The Braves of the mid to late '90's had an eye-popping rotation.
