Yeah, as a Mariner's fan, I get reminded of this nightly when DirectTV runs the GOATbusters themed ad ... starring A-Rod, Junior, the Big Unit and David Arias, who you might know as David Ortiz. (He was Arias when he was in the M's organization.)

So, I get to watch the team we DO have nightly and then be reminded of the team we USED to have nightly as well.

Watching Edgar hit the double to score Junior in 1995 is my greatest in-person sports memory.

As talented as they were, the “could have been” honor goes to the Indians. They ‘95 squad was incredible from top to bottom, and the pitching wasn’t shabby. They just ran into one of the best pitching staffs ever that was in peak condition.

The ‘97 version was flawed, but THAT was the team that should have won. You could argue that an 86-win team had no business beating the Yanks or Orioles, but the talent and experience was there. That same logic applies to the 2000 Yanks.
