It was a joke so dont get too riled up, but the Yankees have been buying the best players in Baseball since 1919. In the old days it was by paying the minor league teams the highest amount for promising players, now it is through Free Agency. It is not a new thing.
Are they the most successful Franchise in Sports History? Yes Do they run a great business from a monetary standpoint? Yes Do they break any rules by buying all the best players in Baseball? No As a fan do I hate their guts? Absolutely! Dont take it personally or get upset, just one fans opinion.

FYI, I have lived and died (mostly died) for the Seattle Mariners since I was a tiny kid in the Kingdome in the early 1980's. They will never be the Yankees as a franchise and that is ok, but if they EVER win a single World Series, I PROMISE I will cherish it more than any Yankee fan cherishes any individual championship they have ever won!

I hear you on that one...
As a Reds fan (and the way baseball is now structured), I seriously doubt I will live long enough to see them win another World Series. I would do well to live another 30 years, and would guess the odds are severely against them winning another one in that time-frame. At least I lived to see '75, '76 and '90... which was a miracle. I now live in Seattle, and would love to see the Mariners do it too. If it's any consolation, the odds for the M's are much greater than for the Reds. At least they can contend...

From the Christy Walsh Family.
Vintage original TYPE I 1927 World Series photograph that Walsh himself hand lettered the caption (he was also a cartoonist). This exact photo was used in his book entitled "Adios to Ghost" that was published more than a decade later.
The raw photo with Walsh's editing marks... 034.jpg The cropped and finished version which was used in the aforementioned book... 035.jpg

That guy is Walsh.
(Of course your comment may have been sarcastic, and you knew very well that was Walsh.)

Actually Guys...
the fellow that has a big X on him was New York sportswriter and Lou Gehrig confidant Fred Lieb. Walsh is next to Ruth on the far right.
Best, Jimmy

Another from the Christy Walsh Family...
Just like my earlier post showing the before & after images from the 1927 series, comes this vintage original TYPE I 1928 World Series photograph that Walsh himself hand lettered the caption (he was also a cartoonist). This exact photo was used in his book entitled "Adios to Ghost" that was published more than a decade later.
BTW... the Yanks disposed of the Cards in four straight becoming the first team in history to register back to back World Series sweeps. The raw photo with Walsh's editing marks... 1928walshworldseries.jpg And the cropped version... 1928walshworldseriescropped.jpg

1936 World Champs Ball with Lou Gehrig on the sweetspot and a very rare Rookie Joe D. Very pretty Dizzy Dean Ball as well. Sorry for the shameless plug, as I am selling this to help pay Hunts. Please check the B/S/T thread for pricing...
