Yankees Salaries

Over the last 15 years, “sixty-four new major league facilities were built… One high-profile construction deal is Yankee Stadium, which was originally built in 1923 for $2 million (Sanderson).” Two million dollars in 1923 adjusted for inflation is $29,228,452.38. In 2005, the New York Yankees announced plans to build a new stadium. “The construction cost is expected to be around $1.3 billion, which the Yankees will pay for. New York City is projected to spend $220 million on infrastructure and various other improvements across the area (Robertson).”

The New York Yankees announced today that they have partnered with CLEAR security for security improvements and advanced-access points for entry at Yankee Stadium.

“It’s an honor to be playing with these four players and to be a part of their fifth World Series title and my first.” said Mark Teixeira as they won their 27th World Series. The Yankees are the best team to ever play the game of baseball. First of all, They have some of the best players to ever play baseball. For instance, Alex Rodriguez is the 4th all time home run leader with 696, Barry Bonds has the most with 762. Derek Jeter is 6th on the all time hits list having 3465. Babe Ruth, Joe Dimaggio, Lou Gehrig, and Mickey Mantle were all stars of the New York Yankees and they were considered some of the best players of all time. Next, The Yankees have the most World Series wins ever. They have 27 of them and the team with the second most

In 1921 Babe leads the Yankees to their first championship where they fall short to the New York Giants. They do the same thing in 1922 losing to the Giants two years in a row. Then in 1923 Babe and the Yankees get their first World Championship with a win over the Giants. The Great Bambino doesn’t get back to the World championship until 1926 where they lose to the St. Louis Cardinals. The past two years though the Babe and the Yankees have been back to back World Champions. They are looking for a three peat this year and trying to be the first team ever to win three championships in a

next,Did you know that the yankees got in the world series more than any other team.

Fast forward to today, with Rodriguez settling back in as the everyday DH, and #36 back in RF, the Yankees sit in fourth place, at 27-30. There is still a long way to go in this season, and it’s anyone’s guess as to how exactly it ends. But the one thing you can count is that Carlos Beltran will continue to grind out productive at bats. Why, you ask. Because he’s in a contract year. And when the chips are down, Beltran shines when it’s time to get paid! Look no further than to his past contract

Strong performances in recent games from the big money players, Adrian Beltre (and his thumb), Prince Fielder (and his veggies), Shin-Soo Choo and his diary as well as Elvis Andrus and his robo-leg kick have stirred the pot that is Postseason aspirations for the Rangers. Recently the team acquired a few new faces, Will Venable from San Diego and welcomes back Mike Napoli from Boston.

The Cincinnati Red Stockings, founded in 1869, were the first professional baseball team. In 2016, they are known as the Cincinnati Reds. Through the way, they have done many things. In 1919, they won the World Series. This World Series was controversial due to the fact that some of the players the White Sox, the other team, bet on losing it. During the 1938 season, Johnny Vander Meer threw back to back no hitters, the only time in baseball history. In 1940 the Reds win the World Series again, but this time it was not controversial. It would be another 35 years until they win the World Series again, but comes much better. The 1970’s Reds teams were great, and were known as the Big Red Machine. The peak was when they won back to

If you dont have the lead after six innings the game is pretty much over. Mariano Rivera joined the Yankees Bullpen full time in 1996 after not having great success as a starting pitcher the year before. He was the set up man for the eventual 1996 world series MVP John Wetteland. The Yankees were tough to score on when these two where on the mound late in the game. In the playoffs throw in Ramiro Mendoza and left handed specialist Graeme Lloyd and this bullpen was one of the biggest reason the Yankees won the title in '96. In 1997 the team decided

Many choices that were made have never been justified, leading to questions that have never been answered. Nevertheless, much of what went wrong in that seven-game series for the New Yorkers can be chalked up to chance. However, in retrospect, it is quite evident that with sound decision-making and fundamental baseball strategy, many of the unfortunate things that took place could have been avoided. The Yankees should have never been put in a such a position, their backs-to the-wall in a seventh game. The team was far too talented for that to have happened. And it is with the same staunch belief that I place much of the blame at the feet of manager Casey Stengel, not in a way to attack his character, but to question his astuteness as a team leader at that point in his career.

The St. Louis Cardinals reside in the National League Central Division. There are 5 teams in the division now as of 2016; the Cincinnati Reds, the Milwaukee Brewers, the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Chicago Cubs, and the St. Louis Cardinals. Prior to 2013 the Houston Astros were also a part of the Division. From the year 2000 to 2015 the St. Louis has come in first place in the National League Central Division 10 times, came in second 4 times, and third 2 times. (St. Louis Cardinals: Year-by-Year Results) Although the Cardinals have these amazing numbers, it is still thought that the New York Yankee’s have been better. The New York Yankee’s though have been good, but they have the same numbers as the St. Louis Cardinals. They have won their division 10 times, came in

And it is quite likely that at the very least, the Yankees will hold on to the No. 1 wild-card spot and host a one-game playoff against either the Houston Astros, the Minnesota Twins or the Los Angeles Angels on Oct. 6. But it is truly hard to imagine the team that lost Friday to the lowly ChiSox mounting any kind of serious charge in the postseason. Sure, it would be nice to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2012, but does anyone really believe the 2015 Yankees have it in them to do anything more than make a quick and unceremonious

The New York Yankees Major League Baseball team began with the founding of the American League in 1901. The Baltimore clubs were the top team in the original eight clubs; two years later, the organization replaced the New York City based franchise, they were finally named the Yankees in 1913. The Yankees frequently contended in the AL championship acquisition of outfielder Babe Ruth after the 1919 season. Not to long afterwards the Yankees won their first AL title in 1921, after that they won their first World Series Championship in 1923. Babe Ruth and another team member who played first base Luo Gehrig were both part of the Yankees murders batter lineup because they were such good hitters.

The Yankees will begin charging even higher prices for tickets, and Yankees fans will gladly pay more money to see the all-star lineup previously mentioned play on the same team at home in the Bronx. However, when the Yankees play teams like the Orioles in Baltimore, Orioles fans will not want to pay the higher “premium charge” that is associated with a game at Camden Yards versus the Yankees or the Red Sox. Attendance will go down, which will not bid well for Oriole Park at Camden Yards, or other stadiums with similar situations. This all stems back to the excessive payroll that the Yankees boast, year after

In the early to mid 2000’s, baseball was dominated by two Major League organizations: the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. These two storied organizations have boasted a historic past, each possessing arguably the greatest player the game has ever seen: Babe Ruth. Each of these clubs had hit their peak in the early 2000’s, and it set up for an epic clash in the 2004 American League Championship. The Yankees took an early three games to none lead in the best of seven game series, and all hope had been lost throughout the Red Sox fan base. But, the Red Sox were able to turn it around through a series of improbable events, and finished the series with a win over the Yankees, four
