Phillies fans should look away now: the New York Yankees winning the World Series is &quot;good for America&quot; and the American economy--at least according to this light-hearted bit of analysis by the folks at the &lt;i&gt;Wall Street Journal&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;p&gt;The executive summary: average GDP growth in the years following a Yankees World Series win comes in at 5 percent, compared to just 2.5 percent following a Phillies win. Worse, for those of a Pennsylvanian persuasion, is that GDP historically grows around 5 percent after a Phillies World Series &lt;i&gt;loss&lt;/i&gt;. Want further evidence?
