  1. I went to www.whatifsports.com and used their website to simulate the series. Yankes win 4-2, score 10 or more runs in 3 games


  2. Well, the 08 cubs players are all dead, so I'm pretty sure even the 08 Yankees could beat the corpses, probably about 19-7 with the Yankees pitching this year.

    However. it depends if you are moving the 98 Yankees back in time and accounting for the little things, like travel by train, working 2nd jobs, not having professional nutritionists, trainers, not seeing video while soaking in a jacuzzi tub.  Or if you are bringing the 08 Cubs forward and giving them all those luxuries.

    If you simply match the players, regardless of levels, I'm sure most modern teams would win.

    However, if you are asking if the 08 Cubs dominated their era more than the 98 Yankees, it's probably close to a tie.


  3. Yankees, far more advance

  4. An unfair comparison. Athletes of the 1990s were much stronger and physically developed than those of the early 1900s. So the '98 Yankees would batter the 1908 Cubs.  

  5. The Yankees would have won & the Cubs World Series  

  6. Modern teams would dominate because old-time players did not see anything like the pitching talent that exists now.

    I would root for the old timers, who appreciated the game far more and played it out of love for the game.

  7. The Yankees won 114 games that year. They would beat the 1908 Cubs.

  8. GOOOOOOOOO CUBS!!! Make your fans flippin' scha-WEETLY proud!

    That's my story, and I'm sticking to it! ;)

  9. the dead guys !

  10. The 1998 Yankees.But don't under-estimate the Cubs.Though baseball wasn't integrated yet,baseball teams were still pretty good.No other professional sports to compete with,and fewer teams,meant that there was a concentrated talent pool available.It would be closer than you think....

  11. Two different eras of baseball.  There is no way of comparing them.

  12. Gotta' go with Cubs!

  13. Scooter...you got to pick either minor league or that guy mel on this one, you gave us a tough call here...I'll say Chicago, at the risk of being shot down  :-)

  14.   who else the Chicago Cub
