David Wells threw the first perfect game at Yankee Stadium since Don Larsen's in the 1956 World Series,  The longtime Yankees catcher, who was behind the plate on May 17, 1998 -- when Wells made history in front of 49,820 fans in the Bronx doesn't need a two-decade-old broadcast to remember it."I didn't talk to [Wells] the whole day," Posada recalled. "We talked before the game. We talked after the game. It's a perfect game -- you don't want to jinx anything. … He was throwing everything I wanted him to throw, locations and pitches and counts. It doesn't happen often, so it was a very special day."

For anyone who witnessed or contributed to the 1998 Yankees, it’s hard to imagine a more complete, well-rounded, utterly unbeatable team. No one star outshined the rest. During an era of bodybuilder-sized sluggers smashing hallowed records, the ’98 Yanks didn’t have a single player with 30 home runs, while the top two finishers in the American League Cy Young voting that year -- Toronto’s Roger Clemens and Boston’s Pedro Martinez -- resided elsewhere in their own division. What they had instead was a roster, from one to 25, of players who cared about one thing only: winning. From the first day of Spring Training through the final out of Game 4 in San Diego, every last person on the team focused solely on doing whatever he could do to help win a ballgame that day.
