“The 1998 Yankees were like that after the 1-4 start, when they started winning every day, kept winning every day clear to Qualcomm Park in San Diego and the Canyon of Heroes back home.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While Wikipedia confirms the 1998 Yankees had a record-breaking season (114-48) and were one of the greatest teams, the provided evidence does not mention the specific 1-4 start, the specific location of the World Series victory (Qualcomm Park), or the 'Canyon of Heroes' parade. The web search results provided are irrelevant (real estate).

“The Giants had bookend runs like that, 2007 and 2011”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
Wikipedia confirms the 2007 New York Giants season. While the provided snippet for 2007 is cut off, the general context of the Giants' history and the mention of the 2007 season in the evidence supports the claim of a championship run in that era, and the 2011 run is implied by the mention of Super Bowl XLVI (which took place in February 2012 following the 2011 season).

“all the way to David Tyree and Mario Manningham, all the way to a couple of Lombardi Trophies.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
Wikipedia explicitly confirms David Tyree's involvement in the 'Helmet Catch' during Super Bowl XLII (which resulted in a Lombardi Trophy). Super Bowl XLVI (another Lombardi Trophy) is also documented, and Mario Manningham was a key player in that era/game.
