Crazy Moneyball Stat

Over the weekend, I heard a stat that kinda made my brain wobble. Anyone who's read Moneyball (I haven't yet) probably won't be surprised, though.

Including the current season's games up to Saturday, and the past 4 full seasons, the Oakland A's have won just one fewer game than the New York Yankees.

This year, the A's payroll is $59,825,167.
The Yankees payroll is $183,335,513.
