[Heeplist] The Age Old Heep List Argument

[Bob Winward]

1976 Yankees were good, but swept by the Cinncinatti Reds in the World
Series.  Horrible time, I was sick for 2 days with the flu, in college and
not far from Cinncinatti.  I think if you want to pick some great Yankee
Teams, maybe 1978, 1996 and the legendary 1927 team.  1927 was the Box,
Hensley, Thain, Byron lineup for the Yankees, Ruth and Gehrig.  Gehrig
played bass, first base that is!!
