Here’s a mind-bender: the Yankees have more World Series wins than the entire history of the Miami Marlins, Colorado Rockies, Milwaukee Brewers, Seattle Mariners, San Diego Padres, and Tampa Bay Rays combined. That’s six entire franchises, and they have exactly zero while the Yankees have 27. It’s like one kid ate the entire birthday cake while the others just licked the plate.
Also, the Yankees have won more titles than the National League East, the National League Central, and the National League West divisions individually. The entire National League, as a conference, has 26 titles since 1903. The Yankees have 27. So, technically, the New York Yankees have won more World Series than the entire National League. Read that again. It’s true, and it’s hilarious. The Pythagorean theorem would break if it had to calculate that math.
And get this: the Yankees have retired 21 uniform numbers for players and managers, which is more than most teams have retiring players. They literally ran out of single-digit numbers for legends. Their trophy case has its own zip code. When a Yankee player retires, they don’t get a gold watch; they get a small island in the Caribbean and the tax write-off for the tears of Red Sox fans.
