Top to bottom

The Philadelphia Phillies started playing baseball in 1883.

The New York Yankees started playing in 1901.

Despite that 18-year cushion, the Yankees have amassed 9,334 wins to just 8,810 for your Fightins'. Meanwhile, the mighty Yankees would have to go on a 17.67-year losing streak to match the Phillies at 10,000 losses.

Perhaps more importantly, the Evil Empire has garnered 39 AL titles to go along with a gaudy 26 World Series championships. The Phils? Five pennants and one lonely world championship.

And what has the Yankees yearly payroll been compared to the Phillies for the past several seasons?
