...seasons—four championships (three consecutive), five World Series appearances (four consecutive), and six division titles—will not be duplicated anytime soon in baseball. And given the expected departure of Brosius, Martinez, Knoblauch, and even El Duque, and the retirement of Paul O’Neill, the core of the dynasty will largely be eroded when spring training rolls around. That makes this 2001 playoff run even more memorable...
