NEW YORK (AP) -- The New York Yankees surpassed the 4 million mark in home attendance Saturday, becoming the third major league franchise to reach the milestone.

The Yankees drew a crowd of 53,911 for a 7-4 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, boosting their season total to 4,035,560 fans with one home game remaining. The only other teams to draw 4 million were the Blue Jays in 1992 and '93, and the Colorado Rockies in '93 -- their first season.

``It's an incredible achievement, particularly when I remember that when I bought the Yankees, we had trouble drawing 1 million to the stadium. We have the greatest fans in the world,'' owner George Steinbrenner said in a statement. ``I cheer our fans as they cheer us, day in and day out. And I thank everyone in our organization, on and off the field, for helping to reach this amazing milestone.''

On Sunday, New York will almost certainly break Toronto's AL record for attendance. The Blue Jays drew 4,057,947 fans in '93 on the way to their second consecutive World Series championship.

The Red Sox have the highest road attendance in Baseball, and the longest running consecutive soldout streak at home.

Fenway Park capacity: 36,298
Yankee Stadium capacity: 57,545

Of course they sell out more games, that means nothing. 36,000 fans in Yankee stadium makes the place look half empty.

It's not "of course". You don't see Wrigley sold out for that long.

I said "of course" they sell out more games than the Yankees. I don't know what brought the Cubs into this conversation.

I don't know what brought the comparison to the Yankees into the conversation. I was simply stating that the Sox have some records also.
