Here was that list:
1. 1998 Yankees
2. 1975 Reds - They loved the Big Red Machine!
3. I am proud to say the 2016 Cubs were 3rd on that list! Didn't expect that but pretty cool.
I was at their VERY last game that season.
This team might even be better.
-I don't know Kenny, that 1998 team was so well balanced. Jeter, Williams, Brosius, and O'Neill. The Pitching with Wells, Pettitte and Rivera. They won 114 games. To me I agree with MLB, that was the best team over the last 50 seasons.
-Regarding the Cubs. I honestly don't think anything can top the 2016 Season the Cubs had regarding our franchise with Arrieta, Chapman, and Lester all in their prime Pitching. Bryant and Rizzo just slugging away too. I will take the Bronze Medal any day over a 50 season span, if only that 1998 Yankees team and the 1975 Big Red Machine was voted ahead of us.
