This is a question to any knowledgeable baseball fan. What 3 teams would you consider to be the greatest baseball teams in the history of Major League Baseball?
You can go back from the 1920's to modern day baseball.
However, by doing so one must exemplify and give answers and background to each team that he picks representative for the 3 best teams. It must be also a team that has some sort of dynasty connected with it. Please respond.|||The best team I ever saw was the 1998 Yankees and as much as it pains me to say that as a Met die hard, it's the truth. I watched almost ever Yankee game that year and it was hard to hate them. They had the perfect build; pitching, power, speed, defense and a great bullpen. They could play small ball, they could slug it out. And the funny thing is, there were only two HOFers on that team.
The best teams though in my opinion-
1927 Yankees- the team was the start of the great Yankee teams and with Ruth and Gehrig anchoring a powerhouse lineup, for that time period anyhow, they were almost unbeatable.
1955 Brooklyn Dodgers- it's hard NOT to include them because if it weren't for the crosstown Yankees, the bums would have won a few more championships while in Brooklyn. The team rivaled the Yankees in terms of HOFers. I'll go to the grave saying that it's a crime that Gil Hodges isn't in the Hall.
1961 New York Yankees- The M%26amp;M boys made that an exciting summer because of the homerun chase. And with all the venom that Maris had to endure, the supposed rivalry between the party animal Mantle and the quiet family man Maris that the media tried to create which didn't exist, it took away from one of the most exciting baseball seasons for Yankee fans and baseball fans.
Honorable Mentions:
I'm also going to mention the 1986 Mets because that team could have done more. Since many fans like to compare the past and the present, had the divsion and playoff format been like it is today back in the 80's, the Mets would have made the playoffs from 1984-at least 1990. That team was much like the 1998 Yankees team, perectly crafted. Pitching, power, speed, defense, great bullpen for it's time. Davey Johnson said in Spring training that the team was going to dominate, and they did. Of course they didn't dominate in the WS, but it wouldn't be a Met team without some drama now would it. Had injuries not snake bit the 87 team, they could have very well repeated (not taking anything away from St. Louis or Minnesota) and in 1988 they ran into a red hot Dodger team and Orel Hershiser. An Oakland/New York WS would have been epic. The teams were so similiar it wasn't funny.
I'm also very partial to the 1990's Braves team that should have/could have won more championships than they did. Plus that rotation is one of the best ever assembled. Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz and Avery- 6 Cy Youngs between them (Avery could have very well won one).|||The Big Red Machine in the 1970's comes to mind and so does the Oakland A's team that won 3 times in a row in the 1970's
I do not care to consider teams before Free Agnecy or when baseball was segregated.|||1 Yankees
2 Red Sox
3 Dodgers

In a regulation game 9 innings make up a game. Top of inning where visiting team gets to try to hit the ball and score runs without getting 3 outs while home team takes the field and tries to prevent runs. At the bottom of the inning it's just the opposite. |||baseball is a game played between two teams with 9 players each. There are four bases in the field and mostly four umpires supervise the major league games. Each team player needs to hit the ball with a bat to score points.defense you need a glove the object is to tag the runner with the baseball.
|||there are 4 bases. 9 position players. 9 batters. once 3 outs are recorded the half inning is over. there are balls and strikes thrown by the pitcher across the strike zone( knees to the bottom of letters on jersey) over the plate.

when someone hits the ball with the bat and you are in the outfield and u catch it, where do u throw it to? the pitcher, first, second, third base or home?|||well, that depends on what bases have runners on them. if theres a guy on 1st that is headed to 2nd, throw to 2nd to stop him from progressing. if he needs to tag up at first, throw to first to get him out.
overall, if you see someone running, throw the ball where they're gonna go, and you'll be ok.|||You should throw it to the cut off for the base that ur throing to

any hot guys??
dbroerin28@yahoo.com|||it depends on where the baserunners if any are and what posion you are in the outfield. If there is a person on 1st base and you are in left field, you throw the ball to short stop. If instead of left field, you were in right field, you would throw it to the second baseman. If you were in centerfield, you would throw it to the person(2nd or shortstop) who is not covering second base. If there was a runner at 2nd and you were in left field, you would throw it to shortstop. If you were in right field, you would throw it to the second baseman who then would throw it to 3rd. If you were in centerfield, you would throw it to shortstop. If there was a runner at third base, and you were in left field, you would throw it to home or the shortstop. If you were in right field, you would throw it home or to the second baseman. If you were in center field, you would throw it to home or the second baseman or short stop.|||Depends on the situation of the game. If there are two outs, then you just run back to the dugout, because your catch made the third out. If there are runners on base, you want to make sure that you throw the ball into the infield as soon as you can to make sure the runners stay and don't try to tag up and run to the next base (i.e. a runner on 2nd base will try to run to third, so you will throw it to third). If you are waaaaaaaaaaay out in the field when you catch it, you throw it to your cut-off man, who will be waving his glove frantically at you.|||It all depends on what bases have players on them.|||It all depends.....If there is nobody on base you throw it too the nearest infielder. If you have a runner on first you throw it too second base which could be either the SS or 2b men. If you have runners on 1st and 2nd then you throw it too third base. If you have just a runner or 2nd then you throw it too the cut off man usually the SS unless the runner is tagging then you may also throw too 3rd base. If you have runners on 1st 2nd and 3rd then you throw it too the cutoff man, usually the SS or go too homeplate if the runner is tagging up. If you have a runner or 3rd and 2nd or just 3rd or 3rd and 1st you go to the cut off man.|||you should always throw to the 14thbaseman!
