Game 2 of the World Series was last night, and it was a pretty solid night for the Yanks. Not only did they rebound from the near-blowout of Game 1, but Jay-Z and Alicia Keys performed “Empire State of Mind” in the stadium (see above). And on top of that, OpenSecrets is reporting that in the war of campaign contributions, they’re beating the Phillies handily.

Since its inception during the 2002 election cycle, the Major League Baseball Commissioner’s Office Political Action Committee has donated about two-and-a-half times as much money to federal candidates from New York ($51,136) than to those from Pennsylvania ($22,000), CRP has found.

In all, Major League Baseball has contributed money to 14 New York politicos versus six from Pennsylvania. Such donations are part of a broader political influence effort by the baseball commissioner’s office that this decade has featured hundreds of individual campaign contributions to federal candidates and committees. It’s also included more than $9 million in federal lobbying expenditures intended to affect issues ranging from copyright law to broadcast rights to immigration.

I mean, it makes sense–the Yankees are obviously huge, and New York City is one of the biggest media markets out there.

But mostly, I think this means we know who would win in a presidential election where the two major party nominees were CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee.
