So, the answer to “How many World Series has the New York Yankees won?” is a big, loud, obnoxious 27. It’s a number that defines the franchise, annoys their rivals, and makes other teams’ public-relations departments weep softly into their coffee. It’s not just a record; it’s a living monument to the fact that sometimes, life isn’t fair. The Yankees are baseball’s favorite villains, its most successful bully, and its most obsessive collector of shiny things.
And the funniest part? After reading this, a Yankees fan will still lean over and say, “Yeah, but we should have won in 2004 too.” They are never, ever satisfied. God bless them, and God help the rest of us. They have 27 rings. And they want more. Probably before you finish your coffee.
