They had the best record in all of baseball. The Yankees did not really beat major powerhouses in their championship years. After Piazza and Leiter, the 2000 Mets were full of nobody's and over the hill players like Zeile and Ventura. The 1999 John Rocker Atlanta Braves had a bunch of doozies on their roster. Their SS was the immortal Walt Weiss. Check out their Bullpen. They had good stats, but that had to be a function of being in a very inferior NL. Those guys were bags of crap (Rudy Seanez et al)
