Yankees:

Founded, 1903. 38 Pennants in 98 years = 39% winning percentage. 27 World series wins = 71% winning percentage.

Those who live in the past do so because they have no future.

And BTW, you should check your calculator. 27 WS wins = 27% winning percentage, not 71%. Not that 27% is bad, but still... let's get the facts straight.

His facts are straight. They've won the world series 71% of the time they've played it -- AND -- they have a better League Championship percentage in 98 years then any team any sport. The numbers prove that the New York Yankees are the greatest sports franchise ever - and the current team has been as good as any in it's history. It's gonna take a long time for the Diamond Backs, or any other team, in any other sport, to even come close. Congrats D'Backs. Just 28 more titles and you can play in our leauge . :P Classic World Series
