World Series opening night. That means, The New York Yankees. You can't hear it without thinking about the great teams of the past. The Babe, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle, Berra, Reggggie... some of the greatest players in baseball history. Pin stripes. The statues in the outfield of the "House that Ruth Built."
It's an iconic American brand. It makes old men feel young again. It represents pride, a hard-scrabble work ethic, and a simpler time.
Call me a bandwagoner, but I love America's teams... The Yankees, The Cowboys, The Packers. They represent us and our culture(s).
What do you think?

They were built the old fashion way, with serious capitalism (Money). Would the Yankees still be the Yankees with out the highest payroll in the league? Does money alone build brands?
Money sure helps build a brand. Thanks for the comment, Chris. What do the rest of you think?
