Maybe they should try selling out their own games first..
The last I had seen, a couple of months ago, they Yankees had only sold out 33 of 66 home games, that is truly pathetic.
For a team with that kind of payroll, star power, and winning percentage they should be sold out years in advance.
Look at the Tribes sellout streak, back at a time when baseball wasn't the most popular sport around (just after the strike), they went years selling out every game.
11+ million people cant sell out a stadium the same size as The Jake, thats bad.
But, I am sure they will buy another team for next year and make another run at the World Series, yawn.
*Edit*
I looked it up, from the yesnetwork.com
"The team leads the league in total home attendance and average home attendance (50,455 in 80 dates) and has had 42 sellouts." (as of Sept 24th)
