The 1999 Major League Baseball season ended with the New York Yankees sweeping the Atlanta Braves in the World Series.

The previous record of most home runs hit in a season, set at 5,064 in 1998,[1] was broken once again as the American League and National League combined to hit 5,528 home runs.[2] Moreover, it was the first season in 49[3] years to feature a team that scored 1,000 runs in a season, as the Cleveland Indians led the Majors with 1,009 runs scored.[4] Only 193 shutouts were recorded in 2,427 regular-season games.[5] The 1999 season was the first season in which the two current New York City-area MLB teams, the Yankees and Mets, qualified for the playoffs together in the same season. The following season, both teams reached the World Series and the Yankees won four games to one.
