1927 Yankees have 6 in the Hall of Fame... with ALL 6 being inducted as PLAYERS. |

but who had easier opponents? did the yanks have tougher competition or did baltimore? its pretty easy to win 100+ games a year if the other teams suck, did either of the teams runaway with the league, or was it close most of the way? for example: 2005 western division national league, did anybody finish over 500 for the season? the whole division sucked...IMO |

The 1894 squad actually had 7 HOFers: |

The 1906 Cubs were pretty incredible - in fact, their three year run from 1906-1908 is phenomenal. |

Hal--Rather than just counting HOFers, the Yankees had two of the top ten greatest players ever. The Orioles had none. Yankees--not even close. |

i'd vote for the '27 yanks over the 94 balt.team....but the 36-39 yankee team had (great) competion and still won 4 championships in a row. best team ever. |

I will go with the 1933 crawfords. They had Gibson, Paige, Judy Johnson, and Cool Papa Bell. Thats like one team having Babe Ruth, Walter Johnson, and Ty Cobb all playing at once. |

The 95 Indinas lost the Series to the Braves and they are ahead of the 1961 Yanks. That's a little bizarre. |

The 1894 O's were not a truly great team, but they were very skilled at playing innovative winning baseball. |

Read, just recently, that Wilbert Robinson was once asked how he thought the '27 Yankees would have fared against his Orioles and his reply was something along the lines of "They woulda killed us!" a contention to which McGraw took explosive exception. |

i would have a high average if foul balls counted as hits as well. |

Maybe I'm missing something but the 95 Indians had no 20 game winners and only two players with 30 or more homeruns and 100 or more RBIs. Huh? |

While I don't know much about the 1927 Yankees, my book from earlier this year contains a parade of praises and roasts about the 1890s Orioles. But first, here's a poem that appeared after Baltimore clinched the pennant in 1894: |

The term "Baltimore Chop" comes from the 1894 Baltimore team's practice of hitting the ball in fair territory and then having go into foul territory. |

Well, Im certainly not a Yankee fan, but didn't they win five straight world series '49-53 (and switched HOF center fielders in the middle of that run)? |
