  • The 2001 Seattle Mariners recorded the most wins in a season of all time, finishing 116-46.
    The next closest team in wins that year was the New York Yankees with 95 wins, the team that just so happened to eliminate them from the playoffs.
    However, the Yankees would go on to lose the World Series to the 92 win Arizona Diamondbacks, a series that went 7 games, and a series that ended on a blown save by the best closer of all time, Mariano Rivera.
    That same year, Deion Sanders made his return to baseball, AJ Burnett threw a no-hitter where he also walked 9 batters, and Randy Johnson struck out 16 Padres players in a single relief appearance, a record that has stood to this day.
    Was 2001 the best year in baseball, though?
    In this video I try to determine which year in baseball history was historically the greatest - a tall task indeed, but stay tuned to see how I do it

    I'm so glad the 2006 season is getting love! I was a baseball fan before but I became a baseball superfan because of that season. So many teams even the underachieving ones were so interesting to me. The marlins had a rookie outburst with hanley ramirez and dan uggla, the tigers were so good with such random names like brandon inge and craig monroe, the dodgers who weren't that good hit 4 homeruns in a row to tie the game in the 9th and then nomar hit a walk off in the 10th. I swear that season had so many memorable moments from every team good and bad and I love it.

    2001 was the best season. There were so many interesting storylines that year.
    1998 all eyes were on Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa the entire year. The sports media and non-sports media couldn't stop talking about it.
    2003 POST SEASON! It had everything from Steve Bartman to Aaron Boone. And all the playoff series that year were exciting and were all great!!!

    1908 was insane, especially in the NL..but most people wouldn’t care because it was so long ago. 1967 went down to the wire in the AL. 2004 was special…not just for the Sox ending the curse, but also for coming back from being down 3-0.
    Having said all that, 1998 might have been the best season ever. The HR race captivated the country and brought fans back to baseball.

    • @unkledoda420
      @unkledoda420 Рік тому

      It's weird, I always see people say that the '98 season brought fans back to the game and whatnot but my experience is the complete opposite. Me and everyone i knew who liked baseball completely lost interest when the video game numbers started. The PED's made the game into a joke. I know it wasn't quite common knowledge at the time yet that Sosa/McGwire (and others) were juicing. People were either willful ignorant or just didn't care because it had been blatantly obvious to anyone with half a brain for a few years that it was happening. I at least got back into baseball in the late 2000's, after PED testing and suspensions became routine but a lot of others i knew never really got back into it at all, they all watch football and UFC now. I totally understand the whole idea about that season bringing a lot of people back after the strike and all but apparently i somehow didn't know any of those people.

    • @ericperry2032
      @ericperry2032 Рік тому

      @@unkledoda420 The strike in '94 drove away countless fans. Ripken chasing Gehrig's record recaptured a portion of that lost fan base. The home run record chase also brought many of them back. The difference between those two seasons, in my opinion, was day-to-day variability. If the Orioles played a double header, Ripken could (and did) get two games closer to Gehrig...but that's it; a slow and steady march towards the record. The home run chase was different. On any random summer day in "98, McGwire, Sosa, and Griffey could have a multi-homer game or get collared with an 0-fer. Either way, though, fans who left were returning to the game and these record-setting performances. Of course, the resurgence in popularity would have been less pronounced if MLB didn't lose so many fans by going on strike in the first place.

    The 1975 Reds were probably the finest team since the 1930s Yankees. The following World Series with the Red Sox was one of the greatest as well. I felt sorry for Boston that year.
