Which is the best World Series team of the decade?

With Becketts command of the game and Lester coming to age while Schill was showing he had a few good starts left in the tank. No one stood a chance against them

Had that team not been dismantled, the Marlins would have gone on to win 1 or 2 more titles. People forget how young that team really was when they won it all. But they are the Marlins so as always, they are overlooked. But that team definitely had the most talented team looking back because of all the success those players have had after.

They weren’t even the best team that year. Nobody expected them to win because the Yankees and Cardinals were both better teams. It might have been the most dramatic series win of the decade, but they were not the most skilled team. The 2007 Red Sox were a better team.

I think people mistake the word “best” for memorable. I’m a Yankee fan and I do think the 2004 team will be the most remembered in the long term. They ended their curse, likeable group of guys, first team to come back from 0-3 against their arch rivals, been featured in movies and books. The same can be said for the 2000 Yankees. They limped to the playoffs and they seem better than they were because they were part of the Dynasty and because of the Subway Series with the Mets.

Nobody will probably feature the 09 Yankees in a Drew Barrymore movie, but of all the decade’s teams, they were the most dominant from regular season to postseason. They had their trademark Yankees offense and they were very clutch and had the ability to come back from any lead. When you look at the four playoff losses they had in this year’s playoffs, the Cliff Lee game was the only game where you thought the Yankees are done for this game. In every loss, it either went to extra innings (alcs) or they had men on base to tie/lead by the final pitch. This team doesn’t go out without a prolonged fight.
