The New York Yankees are the most successful major league franchise of any sport in the world, having won 26 World Series Championships (2nd are the Montreal Canadiens, with 24 Stanley Cups). The Yankees can be seen as a microcosm of white-collar New York City; flagrant extravagance, unbridled arrogance and the drive to win at all costs define the franchise.
As of 2009, it appears that their spending has caught up to them. Apart from Opening Day 2009, Yankee Stadium has not sold out a single game.
