Methinks all the fuzziness about the timing of the Highlander-Yankee name change should not inhibit or prevent a celebration, but merely prolong it.
Why not celebrate the "birth" of the Yankees with a decade long centennial celebration?
All the crappy little Highlander souvenirs that you don't sell one year, you can sell the next. The team could use the funky Highlander retro uniforms more than once, each year in fact. I think the tradition of a "
Highlander" week would be picked up by local pubs as well.
Yes, Tim, the Yankees did drop the ball on this one, but then again I always enjoy seeing the Yankees drop the ball.
