One’s a monolithic juggernaut bent on universal domination, one ill-gotten acquisition at a time. The other two are the former Soviet Union and the Galactic Empire from “Star Wars.” But which fearsome, loathsome outfit is truly the Evil-est Empire of all? It’s time for a Head-to-Head-to-Head:
Economic system
Yankees: Aggressively capitalist.
USSR: Aggressively communist.
Galactic Empire: Aggressively filling George Lucas’ coffers.
Winner: Yanks. It’s the American way.
Notable first
Yankees: $180million-plus payroll.
USSR: Sputnik, Yuri Gagarin
Galactic Empire: SFX-laden blockbuster with the depth of a comic book.
Winner: Yanks. With that amount of cash, they could send Brian Cashman to Mars. In a Tie Fighter.
