I doubt it would make a difference. Fans love a winner. The Yankees win.

One could make the same argument about the Lakers. There is another team in town- they just happen to suck. You don't see the crowds gravitating to the Clips just because there's another team in town- they need to be competitive as well. Just being there isn't good enough.
