Reference to the New York Yankeees made by Boston
Red Sox President
Larry Lucchino. Called such because of their propensity to purchase
baseball championships year after year.
The Yankees are the evil empire of
baseball with the highest payroll in
baseball of almost $190 million.
However, the Red Sox, who refer to the Yankees as such, have a payroll of almost $130 million, second highest in
baseball. Would that make them the almost-evil empire? Or, how about the jealous empire?
