The Hardball Times: Jaffe: The great 28
Last week’s column noted the current question, the one I’ve been building toward ever since I’ve been here at THT: what is the best team of all time? A week ago, my column listed the 28 teams I asked him to sim with and explained why I wanted those teams.
This is the week we get to the final, definitive, and all-time unarguable answer—which, of course, is not final, definitive, or inarguable. Part of the fun in the debate on the best team in history is that there is no clear-cut answer.
This is a little project I helped Chris Jaffe with. Part 1 runs through the teams under consideration, and this part shows the results. The Yankees were represented by their 1927, 1939, 1953, 1961 and 1998 versions.
