I think in baseball, the identity is formed in the playoffs. Only for a select special teams does their identity form through the entire season, or across multiple years. Many teams don't gain national recognition until the playoffs when their games are televised coast to coast.
In recent memory, the 90s Braves would be "Hardluck." The late 90s NYY, as Packs said, is the greatest dynasty of my lifetime. The 2002 Angels had the Rally Monkey. The 2003 Marlins were the daycare babies, under the tutelage of the ancient Jack McKeon. So many players on that team were so young: Miguel Cabrera and Josh Beckett are the best examples. The 2011 Cardinals were never say die (best WS I've ever seen...until the Reds win their next one).

The Big Red Machine, The Bronx Zoo, The Runnin' Redbirds, The Impossible Dream and Curse Breaking "Idiot" Red Sox, and the Amazin' Mets all spring to mind.

I feel as if the 90’s Braves team were thought of as a pitching team. Unfortunately also known as a playoff losing team.

Some of the great Astroturf teams of the 80's definitely featured speed as their calling card. The Cardinals and Royals both won multiple pennants and each captured a World Series that decade by running the opposition off the field.
