It's nice to visit to see and do stuff, but I'm happy being 55 miles away in a quiet condo on a golf course. |

In recent years people have blamed the yankees for trying to buy the world series some people even say that that's the only way to win the world series just get all the best players and make a run at the title. But isn't that what the goal is to get the best player and win with them. Should it matter that they want to play for the Yankees should it matter that the Yankees have deep pockets. When did the yankees win most of their world series before of after free angency? It's about wearing the best uniform in all professional sprots and playing in the best city in the world..........

I grew up in NYC and have been a Yankees fan for 45 years. However, I have to tell you that it does matter. I do not blame the Yankee management and any other fan would love for their team to have and spend unlimited resources, but... The playing field is not level and it has caused apathy among former baseball fans. The system stinks. It needs to be changed. |

Analogy
Yankees: 800 horse power car ready at the starting gate. A few others: a 400 horse power car hoping the Yankees choke on the start or blow up a tire. The rest of the field: 21 speed mountain bike just there for show. End of the year the Yankees win the World Series they all celebrate "we are the best" "we are the champions" what a joke baseball as become. |

Any team can upgrade from a 400 to and 800 if they chose to do so, most don't and spend the fall watching the fall classic. Lately the yankees had been doing the same. Owners want world series rings but most will not pay for it, these days it is a must.
Arizona world champions - Fire sale of free agents in the middle of thier victory parade. Florida world champions - Only very few player left on roster the following year. And as far as leveling the playing field the owners must do that not the leauge,by putting a salary cap on baseball will not change things, signing bonuses will be in the 100 million range just to secure a 7 time all-star gold glove winner. What will change and how will the playing field level who knows? Just keep baseball the way it is and owners who don't spend money they will have the best seat in the house in the fall....... |

Don, of course a HARD salary cap will work. Look at the NFL. Do you know one of the big reasons why it has LAPPED MLB in popularity?
The hard cap has created a competitive balance and the feeling anyone can turn it around from year to year. Case in point: The Miami Dolphins 1-15 in 2007 to 11-5 and division title in 2008 Errrr, the Pittsburgh Pirates are in their 17th losing season in a row. Even the Raiders, who are run like a joke, are only 7 years removed from a Super Bowl appearance. |
