For a team that had the division all but wrapped up for quite some time, the 1998 Yankees were not short on storylines in the regular season’s final month. Between chasing down regular season win records, and individuals stealing the show, this team was historic no matter the measure. After taking both halves of a doubleheader, the Yanks closed out their four-game series with Cleveland at The Stadium in a comeback win, one that matched heights seen only once in the team’s near-century of history.
