I resent teams purchasing championships. That means the Yankees are in the same category, but they just haven't been as successful at it lately.

One of the most satisfying things in pro sports is seeing small market teams like Tampa enjoy great success despite a fraction of the payroll, but they haven't put it all together (came close in 2020 but lost to those damn Dodgers).

The KC Royals won the World Series in 2015. So there's that.
