Reference to the New York Yankeees made by
Boston Red Sox President Larry Lucchino. Called such because of their
propensity to purchase
baseball championships year after year.
The Yankees are
the evil empire of baseball with the highest
payroll in baseball of almost $
190 million.
However, the Red Sox, who refer to the Yankees as such, have a payroll of almost $130 million, second highest in baseball. Would that make them the almost-evil empire? Or, how about the jealous empire?
