Perhaps the greatest team in the history of sports, the New York Yankees have won more championships and made icons of more players than most teams in other sports. From Babe Ruth to Lou Gehrig to Joe DiMaggio To Mickey Mantle to Reggie Jackson to Don Mattingly To Derek Jeter, rarely a year passes without an iconic baseball figure on this team. The Yankees' world is a world where winning means everything, driven by controversial owner George Steinbrenner to year after year of success. To some they are the Evil Empire, but even their critics must admit that the New York Yankees are an amazing example of continued excellence in sports.
