Between 2004 and 2015 (inclusive), the New York Yankees paid Alex Rodriguez ("A-Roid") $300,100,000. Between 2009 and 2015 (inclusive), the Yankees paid Mark Teixeira $154,900,000. That's a total of $455,000,000. Result: One World Series appearance (a victory in 2009). I like to think of it as the Curse of the Texas Rangers.
