On this date in 1999, Oct. 27, the New York Yankees won their 25th World Championship. Of the four World Championship teams from 1996-2000, the 1999 team seems to get talked about the least. The '96 team was the first, so it was special. The '98 team is considered the best of the four and won 125 games. And of course the 2000 team beat the Mets in the legendary "Subway Series." But the '99 team was an ass-kicker as well. Let's not forget they beat Boston in the American League Championship Series and then swept Atlanta in four. God bless the 1999 New York Yankees, now and forever.
