Yankees history in World Series: When was last appearance? How many times has New York won?

They hate us, cause they ain't us. The New York Yankees are the most storied and decorated franchise in MLB history.

In 2022, the Yankees will have another chance to add to the trophy case with their 28th championship. It won't be easy, however.
