personally I think that all American concepts of class warfare are really rooted in Yankee hatred, but I digress...

“personally I think that all American concepts of class warfare are really rooted in Yankee hatred, but I digress...”

Yes and no. I am a Pirates fan, so I just hate them seeing that they can go out and buy the best FAs on the market for their team ... I guess that is a “class warfare” based jealously on my part :-)! (all of the Pirates problems center on horrid drafting and management though).

However, I also hate teams that flat out don’t build from within and try to win by buying...so it is kind of a mix for me. I am not saying the Yankees are always like that...most of their excellent teams of the 90s were homegrown players if I am not mistaken. But this “going out to buy both Sabathia and Texeria” makes us small market folk puke :-) .

Your comment has a lot of merit though...please don’t get me wrong.
