One team I also really fell in love with was the 2004 Astros. How they snuck into the playoffs with some help from Steve Finley. Kent's walk off HR in game 5. I thought we were going to the WS after that game...oh well.

1961 Yankees. Yes. I saw them play in person.

My most favorite baseball team is actually a minor league team from my hometown of Birmingham, Alabama. The 1967 Birmingham A's was the AA team of the Kansas City A's and had future Hall-of-Famers Reggie Jackson and Rollie Fingers plus other fine players such as Joe Rudi, Dave Duncan, and Tony LaRussa (serious prospect before getting injured that year, and a sure-bet for the Hall).

Other future/former big leaguers on the team included pitchers such as Marcel Lachemann, Joe Grzenda, Vern Handrahan, Gil Blanco, and George Lauzerique. Charles Finley's first "designated runner", Alan Lewis, was also on the '67 team but not pictured in the below photo.

The team was managed by John McNamara (as can be seen, lots of future coaches/managers on this team) and won both the Southern League pennant and the Dixie League Series over the Texas League Champion, the Albuquerque Dukes (Dodgers AA team).

For a 12-year old boy, it didn't get much better than this!

Greg - I too must go with the 1975-1976 Big Red Machine! I loved watching that team play.

[ksfarmboy]

1984 Detroit Tigers.....wire to wire.

1961 Yankees. My father took me to see them play at the old ballpark in Kansas City. They won 3-0, no home runs but Maris hit a towering fly that was caught against the right field fence. Berra pinch hit a singe late in the game, Mantle got two singles. Whirl and I are tipping our ages.

[Fraudfinder!!]

1975 Boston Red Sox

1927 Yankees

[dougiedshow]

1994 Expos... all the way!

[Fnazxc0114]

I know they didnt do crap but the 89 rangers. It was the first year i remember going to the park on a regular basis. It was also the first year i kept an eye on who was pitching in hopes of seeing nolan ryan pitch.

[Mark17]

1963 Twins (Pascual, Hall)
1968 Tigers (McAuliffe, Lolich)
1969 Orioles (Frank Robinson, McNally)
1971 Pirates (Clemente, Sanguillen)

71 Pirates, along with just about all the Buc teams from 67 through 79. In addition, I also really like the White Sox from 77 through 80.

[legaleagle92481]

86 mets.

In order:
1976 Padres (Jones Cy Young and All-Star game start were greatness, as was the television Monday night baseball game against the Dodgers)
1984 Padres (Should have won game 1 in the World Series)
1978 Padres (Perry Cy Young, etc.)
1977 Rangers (great, great team that just happened to play in the Royals division :( )
