Trivia

In the 1995 Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Past Tense", a policeman from the 2020s called the 1999 New York Yankees the best team he'd ever seen. While it could be argued the 1998 team was better, it is considered remarkable that a television program that aired in 1995 could have even predicted such a successful season for a specific team.
