Funny you mention the Blue Jays, I was 7 when the Yankees won the World Series in 1978 and 25 the next time they won. I sat through a few years of Blue Jays fans laughing, saying how great they were after they had won a couple of series in the ‘80’s. I never left my team, even when it was said their best days were over. It's a well known fact the Jays squandered what little money they had and sold off their prospects within their own system to win years ago, and in ways they're still paying for it.

The Yankees have money because they are from a big city with a huge fan base world wide that supports the team through buying team merchandise, selling out the stadium every game, and the attraction of the Yankee tradition. Go build that in your city of choice. Yankee stadium used to be half empty in the 80’s and we always ended up in second place. If using OUR money to build OUR team means we win, so be it!

I was and am one of those Jays fans.

Kicked your butts well and good to win two in a row. I can die a content man, knowing that I got to watch Dave Winfield belt it up the line and Carter knock it out of the park for the back to back world series.
