Don't forget that having the Yankee or the Sox on your home schedule means extra revenue. Their fans are all over the US. In Tampa, for example, they draw small crowds. When the Yanks and Sox come to town, the games are near sell outs. That's 18 games x 20,000 tickets x $25 a ticket. That's $9 million extra for the franchise not to mention the extra concessions that get sold.
no argument..but if your a KC or TB fan..you also want to feel that youre team has a chance of winning at home...and yes, I happiuly know waht the D Rays have done to the Yanks this season..GO SWEET LOU!!!
