re: Are you surprised that the New York Yankees are stuck with 27 World Championships in 2018?

To answer the OP though it is kinda surprising in the sense that they’ve spent over 3 billion dollars in payroll from 2004 to the present in what’s amounted to one pennant/championship. But at the same time it isn’t surprising because other than 2004 and maybe 2010, I’m not sure they were really the best team or should/could have won in any of those years. Although this year’s team is capable too

2000 is when the spending really started, prior to that their moves were smart. Grabbing Paul O'Neil from the Reds, David Cone from the Jays, signing David Wells, they didn't make too many splashes. However, 2000 things changed and they went after players who were close to 30 hitting their first new contract and subsequently started to decline after 3 years.
Most of the payroll prior to 2000 stemmed from resigning players that came up through the system such as Bernie Williams or players that came on slick trades such as Paul/Cone.

The 2010 Yankees team was pretty meh. Also, 20/27 of your titles came before 1963
