the Sox would be spending more than us - would they then be the Evil Empire?
I've been a Yankee fan all my life, and I remember snippets of the 78 series (which is amazing since I cant remember what day it is). I lived through the 80's, going to Yankee games when the seats were EMPTY, when Donnie Baseball & Winfield were kicking ass. I have no problem rooting for the Yankees to win, because to me it's not about the $$, it's about the team. Everyone loves to talk about how Steinbrenner spends shitloads of money - and he does. But, what has it gotten him? And isn't it his $$ to spend? As was mentioned before, other teams could have spent as much, if not more, but they didn't - but how is that the Yankees' fault?
