The 1998 Yankees

Jack Curry was in the champagne-soaked visiting clubhouse in San Diego when the 1998 Yankees completed a 125-win season with a World Series sweep of the Padres. Twenty-five years later, drawing on new interviews with more than twenty-five players, coaches, and executives — including Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, and David Cone — Curry reconstructs how that roster came together and why it still gets called the best team ever assembled.

The book blends behind-the-scenes clubhouse detail with a case for the '98 Yankees' place in baseball history, built on first-hand reporting from someone who covered the team as it happened.
