The New York Yankees and their 194 million major league leading payroll will not make an appearance in the World Series this year as they couldn't even get past the Wild Card Detroit Tigers in the post-season.
Poor George Steinbrenner with his All-Star lineup of A-rod, Jeter, Posada, Damon, Abreu, Sheffield and Co. Manager Joe Torre has got to be wondering about whether he's going to keep his job right about now.
However, the Yankees have a lot of company as the Boston Red Sox ($120 mill.), Los Angeles Angels ($103 mill.), and the defending champion Chicago White Sox ($102 mill.) failed to even make post-season play.
The Oakland A's however have advanced to the ALCS with a mere $62 million payroll .
