I keep hearing on the radio a replay of the call the night the New York Yankees won their 27th championship. The announcer made the claim it was the most of any professional team in the world.
Not quite.
River Plate in Argentina has earned 33 titles. Real Madrid in Spain has won 31 titles. Juventus in Italy conquered 27 trophies.
There are others I'm sure like rugby clubs somewhere. Another soccer team, Penarol in Uruguay has 37 titles.
Point is...
He was safer toning the hyperbole down and keeping it restricted to North America. Only the Montreal Canadiens trail them with 24.
