New York Yankees, powerful New York City–based financial institution. With diverse holdings in such lucrative areas as entertainment, merchandising, and food and alcohol concessions, and a reputation for making ruthless, often hostile high-end trade deals, the New York Yankees corporation grosses hundreds of millions of dollars a year. While high-ranking New York Yankees employees are among the most lavishly compensated in their field, they are often publicly criticized for incompetence, underperformance, and substance abuse, and recently the conglomerate has struggled to deliver on the annual promises of success it makes to its ignorant and violence-prone consumer base.
