Everybody likes to throw this in for some reason.

Are the Yankees like a model for success or something that people have to compare good teams to?


Yankees spend more on their team than some countries do on their entire country.

Thats the reason I compare might be diffrent for other people.

Uh. Of course they are a model of success as they have been the most successful team in Major League Baseball, that along with the fact that you have the best players in baseball on your team, by name recognition at least, along with the most paid players in baseball on your team.

Well yeah, I've always thought it was that exact reason.
You have that much money= Team should have high expectations.

Like if you were really rich, would you compare how wealthy you were to a homeless person or to higher class people?

PS: The Washington Nationals are not a team to compare to.
