Yankees = Team Of The Decade

There's been some discussion lately about who is the team of the decade. Some people are saying it's the Red Sox, others are saying it's the Yankees. Yesterday, David Wells tackled the question and Sam Borden did the same this morning, and like most rational human beings they both concluded that the Yanks take the crown.

I don't feel any different, and with #27 it's not even close. Sure, the Red Sox also won two rings this decade, but after that you can clearly see it's no comparison.

Playoff Appearances:

Yankees - 9
Red Sox - 6

Division titles:

Yankees - 8
Red Sox - 1

League Championships:

Yankees - 4
Red Sox - 2

Record:

Yankees - 965-653 (.596 W%)
Red Sox - 920-699 (.568 W%)

Sorry Boston, it's not even close.
