1909 Detroit Tigers vs 1998 New York Yankees

1998 New York Yankees
Record: 114-48
Finish: Won World Series over San Diego
Manager: Joe Torre
Team ERA: 3.82
Team AVG: .288
Home Runs: 207
Key Players: Mariano Rivera RP (1.91 ERA, 36 saves), Derek Jeter SS (.324, 203 hits), Tino Martinez 1B (.281, 123 RBI)

This team has already been argued as one of the best teams of all time. Their 114 wins and domminance in the post season came in the very middle of their dynasty run. Many stars like Jeter, Rivera, Posada, and Pettite are at the prime of th career. This team can beat you in so many ways, and when the game is on the line late, Mariano Rivera is the best there ever was.

1909 Detroit Tigers
Record: 98-54
Finish: Won AL Pennant; lost to Pirates in World Series
Manager: Hughie Jennings
Team ERA: 2.26
Team AVG: .267
Home Runs: 19
Key Players: Ty Cobb OF (.377, 107 RBI), Sam Crawford OF (.314, 35 2B), George Mullin SP (29-8, 2.22)

The headliner here is of course the talent of Ty Cobb, who may just have been the best hitter to ever step on a field. Still this team had an incredible pitching staff with a team ERA under 2.30. No one will play harder then this Tiger team and Cobb is usually out for blood; this team likes to run too with 280 stolen bases.

Pitching matchups
Game 1: George Mullin (29-8, 2.22) vs Andy Pettite (16-11, 4.24)
Game 2: Ed Willett (21-10, 2.34) vs David Wells (18-4, 3.49)
Game 3: Ed Killian (11-9, 1.71) vs David Cone (20-7, 3.55)
