The 1998 edition of the New York Yankees were one of the most dominant baseball teams of the modern age, finishing the regular season with a record of 114-48. Their record increased to a staggering 125-50 after a successful playoff run where the Yankees dropped only two games, both coming in the ALCS against the Cleveland Indians. The Yankees swept the San Diego Padres in the World Series, as Mariano Rivera saved three of the four Fall Classic contests.
