New York Yank-mees - 27 World Series out of 105 Total or 25.7% of all the the World Series

Which puts them in 3rd all time......


.....Or you can look at it like this too

Boston Celtics won 17 of 20 for 85% of the Championships they appeared in

The Canadiens won 22 of 29 for 75.8% of the Cup Finals they appeared in (Modern Day NHL)

Yank-mees won 27 of 40 for 67.5% of the World Series they appeared in

So....Again....3rd Place

I like your math much better!!

Go Celtics.

TV Revenues are what helps the yanks. The TV deal gets them much bigger bucks than any other team. IMO spending 80 million more than any team is 4, 20 million $$$ players. It can't hurt to have that, sure beats a sharp stick in the eye. But you still need to get it done and they did. Congrats to them and now it is ancient history and on to the new year.

Well lets look at it like this. Can we agree they spent pretty much 80 million more than any other team? That is 4 , 20 mill a year players they have that other teams can't afford. I know the Sox are one of the have's but just doesn't seem fair to the majority of all the other have not's. I know it is what it is but a fair and level field as far as even a min. spending limit would make for a more balanced and level playing field. I know they play within the rules and I find this more of a baseball problem more than a Yankee thing. They won and I am not trying to pale their accomplishments. They did it fair and square and having 4 , 20 mil does not guarantee the trophy, but it sure helps. Imagine living in Cleveland and watching Lee against Sabbathia and say why can't we get players like that.
