They play in the [[American League]], East Division. − The Yankees are considered to be one of the most successful teams in baseball history because they have won 27 championships<ref>http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/nyy/history/championships.jsp</ref>. − − The Yankees are also one of the wealthiest teams in all baseball<ref>http://www.onestopbaseball.com/TeamPayroll.asp</ref>, a fact that critics have criticized and fans have lauded. Their payroll has been the league's highest for many years. As of 2008, they have handed out four of the five highest contracts in MLB history. However, it should be noted that this is just indicative of the Yankees adhering to [[conservative]], capitalistic principles. This is evidenced by the fact that the owners of the Yankees, the Steinbrenner family, are prominent conservatives. George Steinbrenner, the teams principle owner up until his passing in 2010, was a major contributoer to President [[Nixon]]'s campaigns, and was pardoned by the greatest President of the 20th century, [[Ronald Reagan]]. − − '''Stadium''': [[Yankee Stadium]] − − '''World Series Titles:''' 27 (1923, 1927, 1928, 1932, 1936, 1937, 1938, 1939, 1941, 1943, 1947, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1956, 1958, 1961, 1962, 1977, 1978, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2009) − − ==Famous players== − {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:left" − |- − !Position!!Player !!
