Top ten sports stories
  
In 1998, thanks to Big Mac, Slammin' Sammy and the New York Yankees, baseball dominated the sports headlines. The Denver Broncos' long-awaited Super Bowl championship and long winning streak, and France's stunning World Cup title also made big news. Unfortunately, so did the ugly side of sports: the NBA's money-related malaise, the specter of performance-enhancing drugs and the continuing saga of Mike Tyson. CNN/SI identified, summarized and ranked the events and issues-the stories, not just the highlights-that held our attention and kept us talking.
