Probably so! If there is ever a problem with that franchise they throw money at it! They have caused a lot of the major problems that Mlb suffers from today! When free agency started in the mid '70's that is when Steinbrenner started throwing cash everywhere! He hoards all of the cash and the best players! This is why MLB needs a salary cap so then Steinbrenner and his crew will actually have to make baseball decisions as to what players to get! I think then his true colors will really show as he knows nothing about baseball! If he isn't stopped soon he will totally ruin the game! There are more teams in MLB besides New York! Let's start thinking about them to!

What else is new? Haters will always make the Yanks scapegoats when they should blame their own teams Owners who put the money they make in their own pockets or for stupid projects( Pirates Ownership making a reality show in India based on looking for Indian men who they will train to pitch for them) instead of doing everything they can to improve their teams. They also don't blame the Players Union (who by the way many of their favorite players even from smaller market teams are members) are against imposing a Salary Cap. The Union cares more about making their players the most money possible than to help the game of Baseball & the teams that need help. What kills me is that fans that complain about this are some(not all) Mets/ Red Sox Fans who should be the last people complaining considering they are in the top 5 teams with the highest payroll. As teams like the Mets & Cubs have proven this year is that getting high priced players doesn't guarantee you a championship so all this to me is hogwash. And judging by the thumbs down on those who defend the Yanks by childish people who think Yankee fans don't have a right to their opinion or don't have a right to disagree is one of the reasons why this place has turned to such a sad joke now. P.S The ones who moan about this are the same hypocrites who wouldn't say a word if their team was in the Yankees shoes & anyone who deny's that are liars.

The population base that the Yankees have to draw from is HUGE. You're talking about the greater New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut area. Sure the Yankees, over the past decade or so, have bought their post season baubles. This is why, like every other major sports league, baseball needs a salary cap or cap/floor, and some REAL revenue sharing. If the NBA or NFL had the same economic structure that baseball did, the Jets, Giants, and Knicks would be battling for championships every season.

The fans come as part of the package, and in fact are stupid enough to finance it. I'm kidding, sort of.

The fans you see at Yankee, I'm not kidding about, but the Yankees have spent a lot more time and money promoting their organization and sport around the world than any other US pro sports team, so immigration bring more Yankee fans into the country than any other US team.

Steinbrenner hasn't kept that up so that gap has been shrinking for almost 30 years, but they're still tops in that department.

And they have the best fantasy baseball team on the planet. Too bad for them they don't like/know each other, or they might have more than 26 titles by now.

Yup. Followers not leaders root for the Yankees. I am referring to people outside of New York that root for them as obviously the people that live there have a right to cheer them on.

THE YANKEES R THE RICHEST TEAM IN BASEBALL AND STEINBRENNER ISNT AFRAID TO BUY THE BEST PLAYERS/PITCHERS. I M A YANKEE FAN NO MATTER WHAT OR WHO LEAVES.

I'm sure they do. They seem to have the money throw away on players so why not fans.

absolutely correct.

yes!! LOL
