Mark Cuban is worth $2.5 Billion
Steinbrenner, when he died, was only worth $1.15 Billion
I think if Cuban wanted, he could outspend the Yankees and Red Sox combined, but the problem is the fanbase isn't the same. If there wasn't a salary cap in the NBA Im sure he'd have the Mavericks spending a lot as well.
But it wouldn't be hard for Cuban, who already owns HDNET, to set up some sort of Mavericks/Rangers Sports Network similar to YES which would help expand the fanbase.
