Fellow Yankee fans, I’m taking a poll. What’s the best Yankee team in history? I’ve listed the five teams that I think are contenders but feel free to disagree. There’s certainly no shortage of great Yankee teams to choose from.
1927 (Ruth hits 60 homers; Gehrig is AL MVP)
1956 (Mantle hits triple crown)
1936 (Gehrig hits triple crown; DiMaggio’s rookie year)
1961 (Maris hits 61 homers; Ford wins Cy Young)
1998 (114-48 record)
I’m torn between the ‘27 and ‘61 teams. What do you think?
I’d go with the 27 team, mainly because of that lineup.

I’m inclined to agree. ‘27 might’ve been the best year for both the number 1 & 2 Yankees of all-time.
