What do you think is the best baseball team all-time besides the 1927 Yankees?

I think that the 1919 Chicago White Sox were the best team ever.  They had the line-up, pitching, and chemistry to win the series, they just took money to lose it, thus breaking up the dynasty.  Also check out the movie Eight Men Out.  That depicts this story very well.

the new york yankees have to be the most popular / famous baseball team in the world followed by the LA Dodgers. With the number of top players and world series appearances and being in the two largest media markets, I can't imagine how any other team would be better known around the world.

Wow, that is a goood question, I am a bit prejudiced towrds the Yankees, but I think historically this still valid. The best catchers of my youth are Bench, Fisk or Munson.\n1.Mickey Cochrane \n2.Johnny Bench\n3.Yogi Berra \n4.Josh Gibson\n5.Carlton Fisk\n6.Ivan Rodriguez\n7.Roy Campanella\n8.Elston Howard\n8a.Thurman Munson\n9. Mike Piazza\n10. Bill Dickey\nSorry if it seems like their are alot of Yankees, but that is the way I see it.\n\nHey Disgraced, it was Jackie Robinson, not Hank Aaron.\n\nIn retrospect I think Gibson could be #1 but he was not allowed to play at the same time as many of  his contemporaries, by far he is the best hitter of the bunch.

New York Yankees clearly.\n\nThey have won the most championships (in the whole MLB,) and plus, they have won the AL East title for the last 9 years. Beat that, Red Sox, Orioles, Blue Jays, and Devil Rays!

Yankees because Steinbrenner is always going to be willing to outspend EVERYBODY. \n\nbtw I'm a Cardinals fan so I dont care who is better.  :)

Present day player is Derek Jeter. All time was Mickey Mantle, with Thurman Munson a close second. You can tell I'm not a Yankee fan.... lol!

Love them or hate them it has to be the New York Yankees.  No matter what they do, win or lose, they are always the main focus of any baseball conversation.  The Yankees franchise is the most successful sports franchise in professional sports.  Everyone knows it and no matter how much people say they hate the Yankees there isn't one baseball who doesn't wish there team was as successful.  It's a fact, and as Casey Stangel once said, "You can look it up"!!!

I'll take today's all-stars...Think about this team and tell me anybody could beat them.\n\nC - Victor Martinez (backup - Ivan Rodriguez)\n1B - Albert Pujols (Derrek Lee)\n2B - Alfonso Soriano (Chase Utley)\nSS - Miguel Tejada (Derek Jeter)\n3B - Alex Rodriguez (Eric Chavez)\nLF - Manny Ramirez (Jason Bay)\nCF - Carlos Beltran (Ken Griffey Jr)\nRF - Ichiro (Vladimir Guerrero)\nDH - Barry Bonds (David Ortiz)\nSP - Curt Schilling, Pedro Martinez, Roy Oswalt, Roger Clemens, Roy Halladay, Johan Santana\nRP - Jon Papelbon, Brad Lidge, Mariano Rivera, Trevor Hoffman, Billy Wagner\n\nThere are so many other guys that could fill in...future Hall of Famers like Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux, Randy Johnson, and Todd Helton...guys in their prime like Lance Berkman, Nomar Garciaparra and Bobby Abreu...young hitters like Matt Holliday, Ryan Howard, and Miguel Cabrera...up-and-coming aces like Felix Hernandez, Francisco Liriano, and Justin Verlander...and the list could go on and on.  But I'd take this lineup against the best any year/era could throw out there.

I think White Sox has the best pitching staffs too.  And they pitched well last World Series, without adding\nJavier Vázquez.\n\nBut surprisingly, the best pitching team in AL (and MLB) is now Detroit Tigers.  They lead in ERA (3.17) and WHIP (1.10).

The Chicago White Sox  r a gr8 team. They waited over 80 yrs. for their opportunity, & the capitlized. Ozzie Guillen is the best Mgr. they ever had. They need 2 bring back Carlton Fisk as their hitting coach & Bobby Thighpen as thier pitching coach.

Boston Red Sox!!!! The Yankees suck. The only reason they are any good is because they are rich and can buy any players they want.

The best team in the Nation

The best NBA team of all time would have to be the 2004 Detroit Pistons. Everyone is going to say the Bulls in the Jordan era, but would the Bulls be a good TEAM without Jordan. The 2004 Detroit Pistons played as a team with no big superstars to pave the way to the championship like the Chicago Bulls. \n\nWith all the great players in the NBA today having a team with no GREAT players go on and win a championship takes extreme teamwork. What the Detroit Pistons had in 2004 was special. They worked great as a team, played for the love of the game and for the thrill of victory.\n\nThe best NBA TEAM of all time would have to go to the 2004 Detroit Pistons who played smart and fought hard to win the championship title.

The NY Yankees, because they have the most World Series titles (26), and the most WS appearances (39). Overall, they are just a great baseball team! They have had some of the best players in all of baseball! Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle.....the list goes on! Also, because of the team they have NOW! Alex Rodoriguez (the AL MVP 2005!), Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Hideki Matsui, and Mariano Rivera! Also, because they are the most clean cut team! The Red Sox are too hairy, smelly, and shabby to be considered a good team! Maybe if they all got haircuts, and dropped a few pounds...Ya know? The Yankees are fit, and in shape. They are my favorite team, and they always will be!

The Yankees are the best organization in the history of sports. They have a great tradition. Going to Yankee Staduim is like going to heaven.
