   It’s not about baseball. It’s about buying your way to success.

   Hey, if you can spend it there you could have made it anywhere!

   MM,

   It’s about baseball, and Signe’s sour grapes at being a Phillies Phan.

   Oh, oh, am I the first to notice the needle in the player’s nether region?

   Well, okay, RV, that too. But that’s not the only thing. As annamargaret noted, there’s steroids in there, too. (No, I noticed it too.)

   For years it was money cannot buy a championship. Now it is it did buy a championship. Hypocrits or just crybabies. Well done Yankees!

    Who said that, Howgozit? It’s been discussed for years that the Yankees spend more money to get staff than any other MLB team by a substantial margin – that’s one reason they keep winning; they buy the talent!

    As much as many hate them, the Yankees are good for baseball. Douglas Wallop recognized this in his Baseball, An Informal History. A wonderful book, if you love the game.

    My copy is not handy, but speaking in the years of the Yankees collapse in the latter 1960’s, the gist of his sentiment is that the Yankees are like “the old man”, and though he was a bullying b@stard, you miss him when he is gone.

    They have set the standard since the ‘20’s. WS viewership was up substantially this year. Other teams sell out when the Yanks are in town.

    My dad is from upstate New York. An excellent baseball player in his day. I grew up on baseball and the Yankees. It is my nature to go with the little guy, the underdog. The Yankees are my exception.

    When I was growing up (I did and still do live in Texas), the Yankees were my team. But when the leagues started expanding, I kinda dropped out of keeping up with baseball at all within a few years after Mantle and Maris.

    Then why is this the first one in nine years motive? You deny that the last years no one has said look at the money they spent and they still can’t win a championship. Now when they do win it is because they bought it. All sports have actually declined in talent since expansions. Without expansion many MLB players now couldn’t have even made it to AAA.
