Is there any sports team (pro. or amateur) that have more championships than the NY Yankees (they have 26)?

My alma mater, Johns Hopkins, has been the collegiate lacrosse champion 31 times (plus another 6 where they shared the title).

1927. It had the classic Murderers Row of Ruth who hit 60 hom runs without steroids and Lou Gehrig. The Yankees 110–44 in that year, winning the A.L. pennant by 19 games, and sweeping the Pittsburgh Pirates in the World Series. Only four teams have won more regular season games (the record of 116 is held by the 2001 Seattle Mariners).\n\nThe 1961, 1998 and 1939 teams were all great and would probably be the best year ever in most other ball clubs.

With the rosters as they are, I would take the White Sox.  While the Yankees have a great roster (I am a Yankee fan), the White Sox roster won in 2005 and has only upgraded in the offseason with the additions of Jim Thome and Javy Vazquez will only make the team stronger.

See, the real deal is that yankee fans aren't passionate. Red Sox are the MOST passionate fans in the world. Before we won it all in 2004, we waited 86 years. We stuck with our team and never gave up. A lot of really really good players never got to see a championship(Ted Williams). The rivalry between the Sox and yankees is the best in sports, and the yankees have NO respect. They are selfish losers who need to stop thinking they are still the best. Last I checked, the RED SOX won the world series last between the 2 teams. The YANKEES are in the doghouse. I got one question for yankee fans: can AAA players, mostly those in the  bullpen, win enough games and keep up the pace they are on now? NO!!! You have melky cabrera in left field. You have an OLD bernie williams in right field. You know why the Sox didn't sign damon? because he SUCKS! he CAN'T throw, and he swings with one hand. I am no major leaguer, though I am very good, I could hit 25 homers playing in that sandbox yankee stadium. It is 300 feet from home to the right field stands. Please. Scott Erickson? Please, didn't he like retire and come back last year with the Dodgers? The yankees  are hurt, and  when we play  them again in 60 games,  we will be in FIRST  by 5, maybe 6 or 7  games. The BLUEJAYS will be in 2nd by 2 games!!! The RED SOX will win the worldseries this year. Have you seen the depth of our team? Guess not, cause you yankee  fans  still think you can cut it with a 4A team.  More like the 4H team!!!

You've nailed it Jen.  The truth!!  All of these people who claim to disagree with you are just not being honest with themselves.  Of course they wish their teams were as successful as the Yankees.  What fan wouldn't?  The bottom line is that money or not the players still have to get the job done on the field.  Georgie is always talking about the Yankees not winning a world series in this century.  The fact is the Tigers haven't won still 1984.  So what is your point Georgie?  The Tigers are nothing more than a one hit wonder.  Big deal, you won a pennant.  You are all missing the point.  It's all about the legend of the Yankees and how it overshadows all of baseball.  No matter what the other teams do, it's still all about the Yankees and how your teams compare.  Some of you just have to make your hateful comments to relieve your frustration.  I think that's pitiful.  Instead of being mad at the Yankees what don't you turn to your own teams ownership and ask them why they don't put a winner on the field.  And don't give me this money crap.  All franchises have the money to buy anyone they want.  It's a matter of stepping up to the plate and doing it.  Obviously they don't have the guts.

The Yankees are the best organization in the history of sports. They have a great tradition. Going to Yankee Staduim is like going to heaven.

The NY Yankees have appeared in 39 World Series, winning 26 of them, out of 102 total World Series.\n\nThat's a 38.24% chance, based on history, of getting to the World Series, and a 25.49% chance of winning.

Correction...the Yankees WERE the best...but since 2000, they haven't been...not even once...and there was baseball before the Yankees, there would be baseball without the Yankees...just the truth...

Yankees. 27 World Series Championships. Mantle, Ruth, Dimaggio, Jeter, A-Rod, Yogi... can't beat their history.

unfortunately I think the yankees are because they have a deeper bench, better hitters and pitchers.\nI must say though that answering this question like this really hurts because I am a red sox fan.\nBut the reality of it is, is that the rsd sox have deminished their position players to much, and they really only have two maybe three quality hitters in their line up now.

Considering that the yankees have NOT won a world series at all, not even once, in the 21st Century....\n\n...and the yankees continue to be losers in the 21st Century\n\nI'd have to say the other guys.

The Yankees... Yes  Definatly a silver spoon  buy your way to the top kind of team...\n\nThe Mets on the other hand... no series wins since 86' and the fans have become so accustomed to loosing that they make excueses before they even loose!! This year with Omar The Mets have worked very hard to get to the point they did, but unfortunatly injuries killed there game... (another fan bubble burst)  they built a team perfectly ballanced with vets and rookies with great potential (not all super-star status players that are overpaid and under-played) and the fans stand behind them no matter what... that is definatly one thing you can say about met fans... they are resiliant in good and bad times!
