Spankees win, payroll still not justified however
November 5th, 2009 by why be athletic | Posted in baseball, Live Update | 180 viewsMVP Hideki Matsui drove in a half dozen runs and the Yankees won Game 6 in the Bronx over the Phils to win their 27th World Series title. However, this still does not justify their universe leading 208 million dollar payroll (with A-Rod sucking up a 15% chunk of it).
By our calculations based on the 1998 team’s successes and inflation, the Yankees would have had to go undefeated (since it would be impossible to win 285 games in one year). For that reason, we salute Godzilla, but not the Yankees! Sweet return on investment Steinbrenner; you suck!

Yankees need a spending cap. How will the Royals ever beat them?
