Welcome to NHL 99, The Athletic's countdown of the best 100 players in modern NHL history. We're ranking 100 players but calling it 99 because we all know who's No. 1 - it's the 99 spots behind No. 99 we have to figure out. Every Monday through Saturday until February we'll unveil new members of the list. Brett Hull was just 21 years old and coming…

The New York Yankees and reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge agreed to terms on a nine-year, $360 million deal Wednesday morning. There's fallout all over the place, but one aspect -- a strong one -- is the likelihood that Judge will end up being a career Yankee. In this day and age, that's pretty rare. Given that Judge just set the single-season team…

The New York Yankees are one of the most iconic teams in Major League Baseball and the most successful professional baseball team in the world.

Yankees legend Yogi Berra passed away in 2015, but on Opening Day, we can't help but think of the great catcher and manager.

In his four seasons with the Jays he hit.281/.383/.548 with 116 home runs in 462 games. He won an AL MVP award and finished 4th and 22nd in voting the next two seasons. By…

The Bronx Bombers are at full force and the pitching has been outstanding. Are the New York Yankees now the favorites to win the World Series? The ghosts of Yankees past are hard to miss in the Bronx, from Monument Park in center field to the 27 championship flags flying from the facade. Legendary names such as Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, and Mantle…

On the way to winning his third American League MVP last year, Mike Trout seemingly did something you wouldn't think possible - he got better. Now, the challenge for the Angels is to do the same. They believe they made a big step in that direction with the hiring of Joe Maddon as manager. He replaces Brad Ausmus, who served as a one-year bridge…

NEW YORK - Five straight times, after the Yankees have either fallen just short or well short of a World Series, Aaron Judge has left the season saying the same thing. Remember this feeling, use it as fuel to come back stronger next year. Only, there might not be a next year in pinstripes for Judge this time. He's weeks away from free agency, and…

Albert Pujols is currently approaching 700 home runs. We haven't see anyone get to that plateau since Barry Bonds, and he joined only Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron. Those are the only three players who have ever gotten there and Pujols would make it four. It's incredibly rare; we're talking about four elite-of-the-elite hitters in the history of…

Contrary to popular belief, the Round Ball and Fletch-catch are not descended from bat-ball or running games like many other modern variants of the game.
