The Cubs and Sox of 03 and 08 played a totally different game. Their ptching would be interesting today. They would knock down a lot of batters! The 98 Yankees came as close to the 27 and 61 Yankees as a pwerhouse can be. I'd think the 75 76 Reds should be mentioned over the 88 Dodgers.

The 1927 "Murderer's Row" Yankees won 110 games, swept the series, and are statistically the best team in the "live ball" era.
"The '27 Yankees batted .307, slugged .489, scored 975 runs, and outscored their opponents by a record 376 runs. Center fielder Earle Combs had a career year, batting .356 with 231 hits, left fielder Bob Meusel batted .337 with 103 RBIs, and second baseman Tony Lazzeri drove in 102 runs. Gehrig batted .373, with 218 hits, 52 doubles, 18 triples, 47 home runs, a then record 175 RBIs, slugged at .765, and was voted A.L. MVP. Ruth amassed a .356 batting average, 164 RBIs, 158 runs scored, walked 137 times, and slugged .772. Most notably, his 60 home runs that year broke his own record and remained the Major League mark for 34 years until Roger Maris broke it.
The pitching staff led the league in ERA at 3.20, and included Waite Hoyt, who went 22-7, which tied for the league lead, and Herb Pennock, who went 19-8. Wilcy Moore won 19 as a reliever. The 1927 Yankees would eventually send six players to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Three other Yankees pitchers had ERAs under 3.00 that season. After sweeping the Pirates in the Series, the Yankees repeated the feat by sweeping the Cardinals in the 1928 World Series. The Yankees remain the only team to ever sweep the World Series in consecutive years, though the Yankee teams of 1938-1939 and 1998-1999 repeated the feat."
Before that there could be a very strong argument for the 1906 Cubs, even though that was during the "dead-ball" era that also allowed the pitchers to doctor the ball.
Also making the grade would have been the 1919 Chicago White Sox which at the time was regarded as the greatest baseball team ever assembled and may have lived up to the title except for the "Black Sox" scandal that surrounded the World Series.

What I did was take all the best teams of all time(player-stats) put them into a computer and played them against each other, for 1000 seasons. The best team of all time is the 1906 Chicago Cubs followed by the 1927 NY Yankees.
It only makes sense that it would come out this way. The 1906 Cubs have the best ratio of runs scored vs runs allowed in the modern history of baseball.
Teams that have a ratio or 1.35 runs scored(or better) to runs allowed are in the great teams of all time category. The 27 Yankees had a ratio of 1.61 the 1906 Cubs had an incredible ratio of 1.85
I then played the 06 Cubs vs the 27 Yankees in 1000 simulated WS > The Cubs won a clear majority.

The question on the table is, what's the best group in mlb of the final 2 an prolonged time, no longer the group with the best record. 2004 Boston purple Sox, to overcome a nil-3 deficit VS the Yankees who in '04 nonetheless had a humiliation of riches, and then flow directly to dominate the one hundred win Cardinals interior the international sequence became into fairly cool. in straightforward terms MLB group to win a 7 game sequence after being down 3-0. impossible to declare that the 1998 long island Yankee juggernaut ought to come lower back after being down in a nil-3 hollow , exceptionally whilst your maximum hated rival beat your precise 2 starters interior the 1st 2 video games(Pedro and Schill).

How about the M&M boys of 1961. Maris and Mantle, add in Yogi, Elston, Whitey, Blanchard with Houck as Manager for 109 wins that season! Yankees won in 5 games over the Reds.

1927 Yankees, no doubt about it, they were the best team ever in the history of baseball. They had it all, they had power with babe ruth, and lou gehrig, and players hitting for average. The WERE the greatest team in history.

1984 Tigers get my vote. They led from beginning of the season to the end, something done by no other team. Also, no other team has begun the season 35-5.
