Here you go, facts prove it all. Yankees have all the money and continually buy decent players for short term contracts just so they can make it to the "big dance" at the end of each season (I.E. Aaron Boone, Giambi, Dave Justice, Ventura, Mondesi, Paul O'Neil, Reuben Sierra...etc...just to name a few.)

Lets talk baseball.
