OT Congratulations NY Yankees

"Bazeball been berry berry good to dem"

Yes, Yes, the Yankees bought another world series.

And MLB wonders why baseball, which used to be america's number one sport, is now america's number two sport, (WAAAAAYYYYY behind the NFL), and quickly sinking to number three behind the NBA. (And for me, they are number four, because I prefer hockey to MLB). Sad, huh?....

How-bout that MVP?!

Very happy here, as a long-time Yankee fan. Albeit exhausted, from three series worth of tense games, many extending late into the night.

Two comments re the perennial accusation that the Yankees buy their championships:

1)There are innumerable examples of teams that have spent a lot of money and gotten very poor results. Just look at this year's Mets, for starters.

2)If every team spent equally, and if each organization was run equally well (or poorly), then on average each of the 30 teams in baseball would win a title once every 30 years. That would seem to be an unlikely way to boost the sport's popularity (and its tv revenues), considering how much larger the fan population is for the teams from the major metropolitan areas.

Elizabeth -- Derek Jeter is still single! :) He's also (very deservedly) the team captain.
