The Greatest Franchise of Them All

This is my blog so I don't feel bad about all my fellow classmates who may be Boston fans but it was announced today that the New York Yankees won "most valuable franchise in the world." For the first time on the Forbes Fab 40 list of "dominant sports brands," the New York Yankees surpassed the world renown soccer team, Manchester United. Forbes estimates that the Yankees are now worth $340 million in comparison to the $269 million that Manchester United is worth. The New York Yankees are known to be the the sports team of New York. They are the heart and soul of New Yorkers and over the past four years they have managed to retain their fan base by paying their players enormous amounts of money and upgrading their facilities to be the best around. It's controversial to many that they offer to pay their players more money than anyone can imagine but in doing so they have proved that this is something they can do. The New York Yankees will always have a name for themselves and in building their brand they make every aspect of their franchise better than the rest. On the Forbes list or not the New York Yankees will always be "world renown." This team is part of American history and is a team that has made such strides in the history of baseball that they just don't compare. They've been the best for years and nothing is holding them back from keeping it that way.
