The New York Yankees' 1999 season was the 97th season for the Bronx-based professional baseball team. The team finished with a record of 98–64 finishing 4 games ahead of the Boston Red Sox. New York was managed by Joe Torre. The Yankees played at Yankee Stadium. In the playoffs, they got to the World Series and defeated the Atlanta Braves in 4 games to win their 25th World Series title. By winning their 25th World Series, the New York Yankees became the most successful team in North America, a record previously held by the NHL's Montreal Canadiens. In that year, FTA broadcasts returned to where they all started in 1947 — Fox-owned WNYW, the network's flagship channel, while cable broadcasts continued on MSG.

Offseason

Major figures in the 1999 Yankees season included (clockwise from top left) Derek Jeter, Tino Martinez, David Cone, and Bernie Williams.
