The Texas Rangers who defeated the Yankees to win the AL Penant, were fourth from the bottom in payroll, at $55 million (nearly a quarter of the $206 million the Yankees paid on player salaries).

The $40 million more that the Yankkees paid than Boston on payroll, is more than the entire payroll of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
