Just two days after watching the New York Giants win their second Super Bowl in four years, it is hard not to dream of the Yankees capturing a World Series title.
Being on the brink of the 2012 MLB season, I got to thinking, what do the Giants have that the Yankees are missing?

ADVANTAGE YANKEES:
- Have all-star roster in place.
- The ‘Yankees’ brand itself.
- Players want to be Yankees because of the illustrious history.
- Yankees haven’t missed the playoffs in 15 seasons, except for 2008.
- Most successful sports franchise ever, with 27 World Championships.
- A generous ownership.
ADVANTAGE GIANTS:
- QB/Captain who is really a team player, a quiet leader off the field, but not on; and just an overall good guy.
- Players who call each other out publicly.
- A Coach who stuck to his plan.
- A stellar GM who makes incredible draft picks.
- A team that talks the talk and walks the walk.
- Team consists of an array of characters, but all have equal voices.
- One of the most respected ownerships in sports today.
- Fighters.
- Believe in each other through and through.
