Went to game 4 with 3 best friends from high school. One had his drivers license for about a month. I had an awful ear infection. Guy sitting behind us, aggressive ‘maybe mafia’ guy, laughing his rear and off saying ‘you boys should have been here in 96, braves fan in upper deck mouthed off, we threw him down face first onto the concrete concourse, they had to take him out in a stretcher! We threw our beer on him. Hahaha!’….(terrifying man), then the Yankees clinched. Stadium went insane. We stuck around, Clemens came out wasted spraying champagne on the fans around the dugout. We got back to parking lot with 16 year old new driver and 55,000 trashed Yankee fans, and one buddy decided to stand on the roof of the car and surf, as an awful billy Joel parody ‘the Yankees are on fire’ blared on the radio…..amazing night/memory.
This was the peak of that Yankees dynasty. They ran over the other best team of the 90s like they weren't there. Beating those Braves teams like that wasn't an easy thing to do.
@ vr 81 - Unfortunately, winning 14 division titles only allowed the Braves (until very recently ) to be not just bad, but ROTTEN in the postseason, just rotten . . .
After the second game of the 1996 series a reporter from an Atlanta newspaper wrote that the Yankees didn't belong on the same field as the Braves. He went on to write that maybe the 1927 and the 1961 teams didn't either. I wonder what he had to say after the Yanks came back to win that series in 6 games and sweep the Braves in this series.
One of my favorite teams of all time. I grew up and got into sports watching The Yankees from 1996 on with my grandpa but I specifically remember this year and World Series.
Watching the Yankees I grew up playing ball in 159 and Grand Concourse in the back drop of the dynasty dreaming one day dreaming of donning the pinstripes those were fun days I tell ya
@Bread And Circuses What really made the Yankees dynasty from 1995-2004 so successful was that they got so many late inning clutch home runs (whether they won the series or not). Its just unreal how many clutch home runs they got in the postseason from 1995-2004. And of course, having a sensational bullpen with Mariano leading the way.
@@brandon_e23Exactly... Plus it was meant as a big compliment to him. Pointing out just how much of a disadvantage he was at growing up in Cuba compared to the average MLB prospect. Yet he dominated from day one which is truly an insane accomplishment when you think about it. I always interpreted the boat comment sounding a bit edgy as meant to highlight how amazing his story really was. Not to disrespect the man those same announcers spent all game fawning over. Some people today go looking for problems sadly.

I’ll always love the Yankees they mean so much to me I got teary eyed watching this video

The Yankees should never have gotten rid of Joe Torre!

Fun Fact: At this time, Jim Leyritz was only the 3rd player in MLB history to play back-to-back World Series for both the NL and AL.
Best childhood ever.
that el duque slider was nasty
A year after going hitless with he San Diego Padres, Jim Leyritz redeems himself by hitting a home run for the Yankees in 1999.
Unstoppable. Joe Morgan hated the yanks. He swore that lame ass big red machine crap was better. They werent
El Duque is as my favorite pitcher watching this team when I was a kid. Pettitte second!
Let’s go Yankees! Best franchise in sports history!

El Duque game 1 = 7 innings, one run, one hit, 10 strikeouts
Cone game 2 = 7 innings, one hit, no runs
Clemens game 4 = Almost 8 innings, one run

@@hmhm856time flies historic and nostalgic
Although the record doesn’t say it, I think these team was even better than ‘98
'98 was far better after winning 114 games during the season. They were the best team since Murderer's Row.

it says 1999 but the video looks like 1979
For some reason, it was uploaded only in 360p
Can you do the red Sox games please 🥺👍💚🍀

He came off an actual small boat tho, it’s how he escaped Cuba
