The analysis involved in coming up with these numbers is hardly scientific. Still, it does its job ... the Yankees are near the bottom! <br /> <br />Tampa Bay $311,587 <br />Kansas City $404,942 <br />Oakland $508,695 <br />Montreal $524,737 <br />Minnesota $632,286 <br />Milwaukee $675,188 <br />ChiWhite Sox $688,792 <br />Florida $709,103 <br />San Francisco $711,685 <br />Toronto $712,208 <br />Cincinnati $722,994 <br />Philadelphia $734,809 <br />Pittsburgh $808,031 <br />San Diego $841,296 <br />Seattle $856,189 <br />Baltimore $857,435 <br />Houston $870,245 <br />Colorado $875,577 <br />Chicago Cubs $897,148 <br />Boston $933,639 <br />Cleveland $959,158 <br />Atlanta $968,724 <br />Anaheim $975,700 <br />St. Louis $998,039 <br />Arizona $1,151,361 <br />Los Angeles $1,272,973 <br />N.Y.
