its been said to death but the yankees are, quite frankly, the greatest team in sports. To those of you complaining about the payroll, make up your minds. Half of you say the payroll is the only reason we win, the rest of you say we can't win even with the payroll. I can't agree with either, although the latter is at least more realistic. The majority of the teams chamionships came before all of the money, and that success is in large part the reason for the money being as it is today, admittedly the boss helped a bit as well
Speaking directly to the redsox fans, i find it laughable that you are able to so boldly speak of the 2003 ALCS "choke", when in reality the majority of your team's history in the 20th century has been defined by "choking"; the "curse" was more or less a series of chokes in big situations. In short, i'm glad you were able to snap the "curse" solely because the yankees "choked"...
putting the arguments aside, heres the history: 1903 the team once known as the baltimore orioles move to new york and are called the highlanders. after leaving hilltop park and heading to lower ground the highlander name was no longer appropriate so they became the yankees. The redsox sent a number of players to the team to ensure yankee success and therefore the success of the lesser american league (which reminds me, sox fans, you had a hand in creating the monster you now hate)...you know the rest from there, a lot of winning and championships for a great team in a great park in a great city.

The worst team in the history of the MLB.
The most overrated team that sucks ass
the team that people who know nothing of baseball chose to be their favorite team

Baseball fan: "Hey, did you see the Yankees game last nite?"
Dumbass: "oh yeah....the're my favorite team! (who the hell are the yankees)"

The Yankees OWN you all. They're the best team in baseball -- their dynasty will never be surpassed by another baseball team. Yankees rule.

The New York Yankees are by far the bset team in baseball, and always will be. Long after "$teinbrener" is dead they will still have the best franchise. QUIT HATIN MAN

The New York Yankees are a professional baseball team based in the borough of the Bronx, in New York City, New York and are a member of Major League Baseball's American League East Division. One of the American League's eight charter franchises, the club was founded in Baltimore, Maryland in 1901 as the Baltimore Orioles, and moved to New York City in 1903, becoming known as the New York Highlanders before being officially renamed the "Yankees" in 1913.3 From 1923 to 2008, the Yankees' home ballpark was Yankee Stadium, one of the world's most famous sports venues. In 2009, they moved into a new stadium, also called "Yankee Stadium"

The heart of baseball. As long as the Yankees keep winning, we know baseball isn't dead yet. Baseball is dying, and the yankees are there when we need them the most. Baseball was meant for these guys. If you're a hater, well I respect freedom of speech, but still, unless you're a Red Sox fan you're probably only jealous that they've had some of the best baseball players of all-time and 26 World Championships.
Yankees are the reason why the American League has won 17 more World Championships than the National League.
As long as the Yankees keep winning, Baseball is still alive.
Ever since they changed their franchise name/city from the Baltimore Orioles to the New York Yankees in 1903, the Yankees have done what they were meant for.
