Trade paperback. Condición: Very good. Chang Lee (Cover photograph) Ilustrador. First Printing [Stated]. 112 pages plus covers. Illustrated cover. Content include Introduction by George Vecsey.; The Regular Season; The Playoffs; The World Series; Yankee People; and Appendix: The Stats. The 1998 World Series was the championship series of Major League Baseball's (MLB) 1998 season. It was a best-of-seven playoff between the American League (AL) champion New York Yankees and the National League (NL) champion San Diego Padres. The Yankees swept the Padres in four games to win their second World Series championship in three years and their 24th overall. Yankees third baseman Scott Brosius was named the World Series Most Valuable Player. The Yankees advanced to the World Series by defeating the Texas Rangers in the AL Division Series and then the Cleveland Indians in the AL Championship Series. The Padres advanced to the series by defeating the Houston Astros in the NL Division Series and then the Atlanta Braves in the NL Championship Series. It was the Yankees' second appearance in the World Series in three years, and San Diego's second World Series appearance overall, their first since losing in 1984. This was officially the first World Series that Bud Selig presided over as Commissioner of Baseball, although he had presided over the Commissioner's Trophy presentation at the end of the 1995 and 1997 World Series as the interim Commissioner. The 1998 season was the 96th season played by the New York Yankees. Widely regarded as one of the greatest teams in baseball history, the Yankees finished with a franchise record regular-season standing of 114-48. These Yankees set an American League record for wins in a season, a record that would stand until 2001, when the Seattle Mariners won 116 games in the regular season against 46 losses. (The Yankees still hold the record for most regular season wins by a team that won the World Series.) It also saw Yankee David Wells pitch the 15th perfect game in baseball history. The Yankees played at Yankee Stadium, in which they celebrated the stadium's 75th Anniversary. Joe Torre managed the team. In the postseason, they swept the Texas Rangers in the American League Division Series, won the American League pennant by beating the Cleveland Indians four games to two in the American League Championship Series, and swept the San Diego Padres to capture their 24th World Series. Including the playoffs, the 1998 Yankees won a total of 125 games against 50 losses, a Major League Baseball record.
