I'm not at all a Yankees fan, but they've been the more consistent franchise. They've really only had three bad stretches in franchise history - their early years, the late 1960s, and a run from 1987-1992. Other than that, they've been pretty amazing, including a ridiculous streak from 1921-1964 in which they finished worse than third only once. That's just phenomenal. Since winning their first World Series, they've only had two stretches where they went 15 years without winning a World Series.
The Cards have a storied history, but their dry spells have been longer and deeper than those of the Yankees. For the first 25 years of their history, they were a laughingstock. Only when Sam Breadon took control of the team and hired Branch Rickey away from the Browns did they turn into a contender. They also had a long run after WWII when they didn't take even a pennant, and their 2006 title was their first in almost 25 years.
Good question - those are two incredible franchises.

look at the history, the Yankees have 27 World Series Titles and Cardinals 8. The Yankees have dominated if you go by that number alone. The Yankees have a far more spectacular history
which started in Baltimore and look at the numbers of Hall of Famers on both teams but overall, look at the Yankees as the example before baseball.

The Yankees by a long shot. Better winning percentage than the Cards. Almost twice as many pennants and world series wins. The Yanks winning days start in 1920 when they were playing at the Polo Grounds. The Cards started being respectable in the early 30s.

The Yanks have a .567 win %, 39 Pennants, and 26 World Championships since 1901.
The Cards have a .517 win%, 21 Pennants, and 10 World Championships since 1882.
Both are outstanding, but New York has the upper hand here.

i assume there is no genuine dynasty of the NL, however the Cardinals are as close as they get. each and every man or woman might desire to call 5 numbers retired by way of the Yankees, yet it particularly is greater stable to do interior the NL. once you think of of each and every of the large names that have performed interior the NL, I often think of of the Dodgers or the Cardinals. however the Cardinals are a much greater consistant team then the Dodgers, so sure I do evaluate them the main suitable. yet it quite is all comments.

The Yankees have been the most consistent team ever, but they have also consistently spent the most money.
