Yankees To Consider For Your Line-up
The goal of salary cap fantasy baseball is to create a team that will crush all others in league. During the preseason and draft, pay special attention to the NY Yankees who are known as one of the best teams in Major League Baseball.
The New York Yankees are
located in the borough of New York City, lined with some of the best talent in
the real league. Originated in Baltimore, Maryland the Yankees moved to NYC
once Boston named the Orioles their official fantasy baseball team.
George Steinbrenner currently manages the Yankees, while Joe Girardi took over the Orioles. Girardi is no stranger to the sport having played as the Orioles' catcher for many seasons. The Yankees received much recognition since the move including 18 division titles, 27 world-class baseball league championships and 40 all-American leagues. All titles have made the New York Yankees MLB record holders.
It's not uncommon for fans
around the world to sport Yankees apparel because they are one of the most
recognizable teams worldwide due to all the titles. They have hundreds of
product endorsements through the team as a whole as well as using popular
players as a face of the franchise. This includes players such Aaron Rodriguez,
aka "A-Rod."
Fashion industries even use
the insignia for various pieces of apparel. For some the Yankees are the face
of American baseball. It's not uncommon for baseball fans to admit that the
Yankees have the biggest following.
Professional recognition does not go unnoticed as well. 44 players and 11 Yankees managers were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame over the years. This is for a number of acknowledgments including the highest batting average, most wins and best pitches. Some being over rivals The Boston Red Sox. With all this history and talent, it is easy to see why so many salary cap fantasy baseball owners target them.
