Baseball Dynasties

There are good teams, and there are great teams, and then there are teams that cross into legend where a case can be built for naming them the best team of all time. Authors Rob Neyer and Eddie Epstein identify fifteen of these powerhouses, assess the overall stats and individual achievements of each, and compare and contrast them relative to one another in an attempt to rank the Baseball Dynasties.

"Few athletes are part of one baseball dynasty. I was fortunate enough to be part of two." - Davey Johnson
