  The New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers are two of the best teams in the world of baseball right now. The post Despite $2 Billion Advantage Over Dodgers, Yankees Owners' Victim Portrayal Receives Heavy Backlash appeared first on EssentiallySports.

The article discusses the backlash against New York Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner for portraying himself as a victim despite the team's significant financial advantages.

The backlash stems from the perception that Steinbrenner is attempting to garner sympathy while his team continues to operate with substantial financial firepower.
