1998 Yankees - Will there or was there ever a better team!!
Pains me to say it as a Red sox man but the Yankees in 98...blew away almost all before them and who could remember Wellsy's perfect pitching game against (can't remember)!!
For me the best ever team in league history..

Definitely as far as the stats go then they are the best. In 1998 we set the league record as we went 125-50 including post-season games. Wellsy's perfect game was against the twins at home.
Although my favourite Yankees era has to be the 50's with greats like Hank Bauer, Mantle, Yogi and DiMaggio in the early fiftes. The world series rivalry we built up with the LA(then Brooklyn) Dodgers sounded fantastic. My favourite from this era was probably the '56 world series where we came back 2-0 after losing both the first two games to Brooklyn to win the WS 4-3 in style including Larsen's perfect game in the 5th match which earned him WS MVP.

The 1880 Chicago White Stockings (as the Cubs were then known) finished the year at 67-17-2 for a .780 percentage.
In fact, the Cubs had five seasons where they had a better percentage than the '27 Yankees (110-14-1; .714):
1880 Chicago NL 67 17 2 .798
1876 Chicago NL 52 14 0 .788
1885 Chicago NL 87 25 1 .777
1906 Chicago NL 116 36 3 .763
1886 Chicago NL 90 34 2 .726
