You a Long Island Guy originally? I'm a New York fan but when there's crosstown action its Mets, Jets, Knicks and Rangers first. That may soon change. George and hopefully his kids have tried to put a top team out on the field and returned the millions earned back into the product on the field. If all owners did that, baseball would be better and more exciting. There are owners that do that in "small market " venues and they are always near or on the top of there divisions. So I don't have a problem with their $. I also like their professionalism. Clean cut, work hard and win mentality. So after watching the characterless Mets waste two years of top notch talent by choking and saying that its no big deal and watching the classless showboating at inappropriate times. I'm leaning back to the Yanks as my #1. The Nets may do the same as our Knicks are just to humorous to discuss. I go back with the Rangers to the mid 60's. Man time flies, don't it?

ukey, I was raised in NJ, went to college in Brooklyn and lived in Manhattan for a while. True, the Yankees have always spent a ton of dough to put a good team on the field. There is no argument that they are the greatest baseball team of all in terms of championships, World Series wins and appearances.

They are probably going overboard this year so everyone will forgive them for taring down Yankee Stadium. May the baseball gods forgive the.... I can't.

That stadium should have been saved intact as a National Historic Building and converted into a Baseball Museum of sorts. If any building in this country has "historic value" surely Yankee Stadium would be one of them.

I'll miss the stadium , but from what I hear the new one is classy with a lot of the archictectural devices that the old one had. Seems like the last one left is Fenway and why tear it down now that its been exorcised? Tight Lines.
