Yes, Virginia, the Yankees Once Were A Bad Team
It seems like ancient history but it wasn’t that long ago. The Yankees really did have some awful seasons for long stretches at a time. From 1965 until 1976 the Yankees won nothing and for many of those years they were really bad. The hard times arrived suddenly but in retrospect they should have been anticipated.

A Tale of Two Curtain Calls

Whatever You Say
It has been claimed that one cannot compare baseball players from different eras, which is a claim that is absolutely correct, but it goes much further. Not only can’t we accurately compare players from different eras, we can’t even compare players from the same era or from the same season. All we can do is draw imprecise conclusions that are full of variables that cannot be controlled.

McGwire: Facts and Figures
You'd have to be a hermit living in a bomb shelter not to have heard of Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa's chase of baseball's all-time home run record this year. They will both break the record, probably within the next week, and America will be watching. But what has not been truly appreciated is the overall great season McGwire is having - arguably the best year any hitter has had in 40 years, if he can keep the pace up.
