20 Years Ago on AOL.com: Oct. 22, 1998 -- Yankees Sweep; Cuban Missile Crisis Anniversary

[Series note: In the late 1990s, I programmed the content for the AOL.com home page, which relaunched with a new design on July 14, 1998.
I printed screencaps and saved them. 20 years later, I'm scanning them
in and posting them with a little commentary under the tag #20YearsAgoOnAOLcom.]
