Maybe so, but the pinstripes have really ruined baseball, an amazing feat given their recent world series drought. They lead the league in time a game takes to play. You might as well start every player with a 2-1 count because two minutes into the at bat thats where you'll be. I'm old enough to remember Jack Clark's brief stint in the Bronx. He was so happy to return to the NL where games didn't routinely go 3 1/2 hours. As for the ridiculous trading deals...when money is no object...just stop tell the Boss to stop whining about how much a new stadium will cost (when the Stadium was done over in the seventies it almost drove NYC into bankruptcy).
And the Evil Yankees do this how?
NYC will not be paying for the new Stadium. They will only be paying for the infrastructure for the area.
