Will we ever see 4 consecutive American League pennants again like the 1998-2001 Yanks?

I sure hope so. Major League Baseball parity is good, but we need some type of dominance again.

Really.

2002 was the first year since 1997 that the New York Yankees did not win the American League pennant and advance to the World Series.

The 2010-11 Texas Rangers, 2014-15 Kansas City Royals almost did it, but injuries took a toll.

that seems like a LONG time ago. They were going to dominate for years to come.
But here we are.

It's possible.

When the Yankees failed to compete for their fifth consecutive American League pennant in 2002, it was a bitter shock in New York.

I could see the Astros being a potential dynasty.

The Royals' core dismantled in 2016-17 and now Kaufmann Stadium can't even get 50,000 fans a night.

They're not an American League team but the Phillies came very close to winning three pennants in a row from 2008-2010. They had the best team in the National League in 2011 as well but had the misfortune of running into a white-hot Cardinals team in the playoffs. With a little better luck, they easily could have made it to four consecutive WS.

Yankeesboard

Yankees won 4 in a row from 1936-1940.

And 5 in a row from 1949-1954.

And 5 in a row from 1960-1965.

So your love affair with the late 90's Yankees as some GOAT dynasty isn't even the in the top 3 of Yankees teams.

And the A's won 3 in a row in both the 70's and 80's...and frankly were a way better dynasty in the 70's than the 90's Yankees and would have never lost if their owner wasn't a cheapskate and sold everyone off...

Including selling Reggie Jackson to the Yankees.

How many teams were there in the 30s and 40s? A lot easier to multi-peat with a small number of competing teams AND the best players

there are only two stadiums in all of baseball that could fit 50k

not even that, there is only one team that averages over 45k and only one of the two teams with a stadium with a capacity of 50k+ has actually gotten 50k out to the park. what a random thing to pick on
