I don't care as much for the New York Yankees as I do for some other teams. Even people who don't like them, for one reason or the other, can agree that they are a great team. But what makes them such a great team?

I don't know the current team all that well in all honesty, but they have an immense history. Two names spring to mind; Babe Ruth and Lou Gherig. Two of the greatest players in baseball, ever, played for them.

A large part of who the Yankees are has to do with their long and successful history, with many successful and standout players. You had your Babe Ruth's and Mickey Mantle's who really caught the attention of fans and non-fans alike. Even now, the Yankees have many solid players. The difference is the motivations have changed from love of the game, to money grubbing.

The Yankees have had many dynasties over the ages. Their last dynasty was comprised of role players like Bernie Williams, Constatino Martinez, Jim Leyritz, Paul O'Neil and Andy Pettitte. The team in 2005 had too many All Stars and free agent signings. They need to go back to the farm system like the 2007 Colorado Rockies and Milwaukee Brewers.

Sometimes I cannot help but feel that the best days for the Yankees have long since past. Not that I think their successes have ended, but I can't help but boo sometimes... seeing all those high-paid players going out there, with people thinking they are the worlds best and stuff. The worlds best should be motivated by more than money.

Well, for starters, the Yankees have a long and [B]storied history[/B]. But yesterday's stories are for good reading or movie making only.History has nothing to do with today . [B]Money does[/B]. Many people will say the Yankees buy their way to the top. They are correct. The resources avaliable to New York are superior [B]revenue producing venues[/B] than any other team in the league. Their [B]cash flow[/B] is like the perpetual flame. It never runs out. [B]Greed[/B] is why the Yankees have good teams. They buy talent and rid them hard. Also, the culture in New York allows exorbitant pricing to exist and the massive population ensures they will buy those hi priced seats.
