Most Overhyped World Series?

     86 years ago the Red Sox won the World Series and now they've done it again. Perhaps more amazing than their victory is their salary. Yes, that's right, we've heard about the big bad Yankees, but who has the second highest salary in baseball?

The team with the most money has the most championships while the the team with the second most cash trails the Marlins in championships in the past 10 years...interesting.
