1996 New York Yankees

The New York Yankees beat the Atlanta Braves, 4 games to 2, to win the 1996 World Series, giving the franchise its first title since 1978. It began a baseball dynasty as the Yankees won four World Series in five seasons, including three straight from 1998-2000.
New York brought a lineup mixed with veterans, like Paul O’Neill, and young stars, like rookie Derek Jeter. The Yankees bullpen was also vastly superior to the Atlanta bullpen, which would prove to be the deciding factor in the Series.
