“Only one team will win eleven postseason games and that team plays their home game in the Bronx.”

A good bet considering the hideous asymmetry in payroll they enjoy, vis-a-vis the vast majority of other MLB teams.

What is this DU? Yankees don't deserve their own money?

Number 2 team in $$ —Redsox—didn't work out so well.

Why is it that on this subject, all the so called believers in capitalism become socialists? The Yankees are successful largely because they practice capitalism, providing a good product, making a healthy profit, and reinvesting in the product, and developing more good product, in the form of home grown talent. Yes they buy and sell players, and sometimes it works, like now, and sometimes it doesn't, like in the 80s and early 90s. And see: Boston, 2nd in payroll.

That home grown talent includes Jeter, Cano, Hughes, Posada, Montero (r), Romine(r) and last but certainly not least Mariano Rivera.

If you believe in socialism, you're a football fan, with salary caps and rules tweaking every year "to make it fair." If you believe in freedom and individual achievement and capitalism, you're a baseball fan.
