How Did The New York Yankees Become The Richest Baseball Club In Major League Baseball?

The New York Yankees are the richest baseball club in Major League Baseball and possibly the richest ball club in the world. The team is world millions of dollars and they pay the players very well and are currently building a New Yankee Stadium costing millions and millions of dollars. How did the New York Yankees become the richest baseball club in Major League Baseball and what is their success to being financally secured ball club?

Answer:Being located in New York City certainly helps, but historically the Yankees have made some fantastic business decisons over the years. Steinbrenner bought the team for $10 million from CBS in 1973. The team is now valued at 1.2 billion dollars. The Yankees generate more income than any other sports franchise in America. Here are the figures for 2006: REVENUE: Ticket sales = $117 million (4.178 million tickets @ $28 avg) YES Network TV/radio rights = $60 million Major League TV and licensing = $30 million Concessions = $10 million Sponsorships and advertising = $30 million Premium seating = $27 million Local radio = $13 million Catering = $5 million Other = $10 million TOTAL = $302 million OPERATING COSTS: Player salaries = $195 million Major League revenue-sharing fees = $70 million Major League luxury tax = $25 million Stadium operations = $20 million Travel and training = $20 million TOTAL = $330 million 2006 TOTAL = $28 million loss HOW IT WORKS: Yankees management plays two games. The first is the day-to-day running of the team. Fifty-one thousand fans pay an average of $28 to come to 81 home games, where they suck down sodas and hot dogs for $4.50 each, generating half the team’s sales. The other half comes from $140 million in ad deals and media rights. The largest expense is player costs, which run about $200 million a year, and then there’s league revenue sharing and the costs of flying the team around the country. But eking out a marginal profit on operations is hardly the aim. The bigger game they’re playing is maximizing the value of the team itself. No need to worry about last year’s $28 million loss, when its value rose $200 million, to $1.2 billion. “Like a piece of property in New York City, it’s really not an annual profit-and-loss-based business,” says Joseph Perello, former vice-president of business development. The Yankees—read Steinbrenner—also own more than a third of the YES network, which broadcasts Yankees games to 8.7 million subscribers. The network’s revenues top a quarter billion and its profit margin is 60 percent. Though a completely separate business from the Yankees, YES’s value is directly tied to how much interest people have in the team, making a $200 million payroll a very easy decision. By purchasing a related business - a cable network like YES - they rake in ever more profits. A very smart move by Steinbrenner and staff. They also run a tight ship - the Yankees staff is a mere 200 in New York, including the players and the Staten Island farm team. Most stadium staffers are contracted out. More good news: The Yankees will get a break on their revenue sharing bill when they open their $800 million team-financed new stadium in 2009. Teams can deduct stadium operations expenses including construction costs from the revenues eligible to be shared with low revenue teams. They are called the "Evil Empire" by other clubs (usually Boston) but they are the model franchise that all other MLB teams should copy.

How Would I Break Up The Entire New York Yankees History Into A 10 Page Research Paper?

I need to write a 10 page paper for my English class and I can write it on anything I want. I decided to write about the history of the New York Yankees but I don't exactly know how to split it up into sections. There's just so much to write about, please help me with some ideas! Thanks!

Answer:Pick the 10 biggest events in Yankees history and write one page on each. Suggestions: 1. Babe Ruth coming to the Yankees. Detail the event. 2. The 1927 season. (Ruth's 60 HRs). 3. Lou Gehrig (his career and his 2130 consecutive games) 4. Yankees 5 straight world series titles (1949-1953) 5. Joe DiMaggio (career and 56 game hitting streak) 6. Mickey Mantle (triple crown season of 1956) 7. The 1961 season (many consider this team to be the greatest of all time) Talk about the Mantle-Maris home run race as they both chased Babe Ruth's single season record. The reaction when Maris finally gets his 61st HR. 8. The late 70's teams. (The Bronx Zoo and Mr. October). 9. The great Don Mattingly. 10. Finally talk about Joe Torre,Derek Jeter, the 90's and the 4 world series championships. You might want to touch on the steroid issue and how it directly effected the Yankees organization. (Giambi, A-Rod, Roger Clemens and others). Good luck
