Even the greatest teams in sports history go through their issues. Some have to battle through injuries. Some will have to battle through moments of having their backs against the wall. Then there’s some that have moments of internal strife.

On this day in 1998, the Yankees dealt with a bit of internal strife. However, because they’re one of the greatest teams of all time, they were able to overcome it, both on the field that day, and in the long run.
