Of course, its much easier NOT to bring oneself up to date with baseball's booming economics, and the fact that competitively the sport has had four different champions the last four seasons (none named "Yankees") - an occurance, that should it have happened in the glorious NFL would be characterized by these same critics as wonderful "parity".
Much easier to lazily spew out old cliches about how the sport of baseball is imperiled. Reading is fundamental, here's just one story that the knee-jerk reactionists ("baseball is in ruins! The Yankees buy everything! Its not Fair!" ) might want to read. Dave Shenin's Feb. 4 article for the Washington Post, "Baseball's Financial Reins Bringing Yankees to Heel."
But of course, that would take the courage to enlighten oneself with information contrary to their own hard-headed beliefs. You know, along the lines of those demaguagues still maintaining that there are WMDs in Iraq, and that there are martians on Mars.
I deal in facts . . . *points up* . . . what do you and Stenibrenners illigit son deal in? Care to take on the above? I especially would love you dealing with the fact that the teams in the lower half of the league in revenues won 5, count 'em, 5 games out of 224 playoff games since revenue sharing began. SOS has not said a word to rebut since I brought any of the above up over a week ago. That spoke volumes.
