So, the simple answer: 27. That’s more than any other team in any major American sport has. It’s a number so big it sounds made up, like a kid telling you his dad owns a helicopter. But it’s real. The Yankees are the aliens of baseball—they’ve been winning since the game was played in wool uniforms and underhand pitches.
Will they win number 28? Who knows? But one thing’s for sure: even if they never win again, they’ll still have more rings than the rest of the league combined—except for the Cardinals. And the A’s. And the Giants. And… you get the point. The Yankees own October, and they don’t plan on moving out anytime soon.
