Damn Yankees

I found this sweet site today if you are looking for good MLB facts:

http://www.baseball-almanac.com

I stumbled upon the site looking up who had won past World Series because Jesse and Marvin were arguing about it last night. Jesse said that the Yankees had not won more than 3 World Series since 1996 (10 years ago). When I found this site, it brought back memories of why I started to passionately hate the damn Yankees. It's not a big deal that they won alot but that they used tons of money to buy everyone under the sun. To get back to the argument, I'm sad to say that Jesse was wrong.
