They're failing.

They are a powerhouse team every year.

They're excellent.

They're generally well-run.

Good, generic, big powerhouse, big market team.

That is not the New York Yankees.

The New York Yankees were, by far and away, the number one franchise in the history of American team sports.

They went from 1920 to 1965.

Winning half the World Series ever played, right?

Even then after that, they were a powerhouse again in the 70s and they had the greatest dynasty in the history of modern baseball in the late 90s.

They won four out of five World Series.

They came an out away from winning five out of six World Series.

series it was insane and and from that point basically and the only reason George Steinbrenner is very overrated also and I liked him in a way but the only reason the Yankees got great was because he was kicked out of baseball they couldn't trade away their prospects you know that's why

He was colluding with the other owners when Jack Morris and these guys were available and he didn't sign them.

When the Yankees were in inflection point, they could have been a powerhouse again and they weren't because he was in cahoots with the other owners to stick it to the players.

But the Yankees brand, which doesn't just mean, hey, we're top notch.

It means we're the best by far.

We are the standard that every other sports team aspires to be.

Too much.

But we're not just... The Yankees aren't house poor for baseball.
