Buying another championship? ESPN screenshot via BostonDirtDogs. (Though Fox Sports Radio's JT The Brick, a Yankee fan, says that the last time (pre-curse of Hillary) the Yanks won it all, their payroll was $100 million... these days it's over twice that but it still can't guarantee a World Series victory. They've spent over a billion in Gotham since then but no 27th ring. Instead, it goes to Arizona, Anaheim, Florida, Red Sox, and now White Sox.

One great memory of Damon, as described by Joe Castiglione:

ALCS Game 7, 2004, at Yankee Stadium. 2nd inning.

"There's a long fly ball to right field, Sheffield
looking up--it's GONE! GRAND SLAM, JOHNNY DAMON! And the
Red Sox add four more!" (Went up 6-0...)

Damon
Jeter
Rodriguez
Sheffield
Giambi
Godzilla
(Fill-In-The-Blank)
Posada
Cano

Just contemplate that line-up... Imagine you are pitching to that line-up.

There is no such thing as a guarantee in baseball, but the Yankees are doing everything they can to make it happen.
