As Cashman says, baseball is a business. Anyone on this board has more of an interest--much more--in Yankee history and tradition, than the owners do.
(In fact, the owners have none.)
That would all be fine with me, if they didn't constantly proclaim otherwise.
"Pride and pinstripes," the cathedral of baseball," etc. Bullshit.
Quite agree.

Who knows, maybe the guy will get a really good job and make more money than he would have if he sold it. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big...rn=mlb-wp12669

As noted in the other thread, looks like the kid is making out OK. Miller and Steiner have offered to kick in the cover his taxes and pay down some of his student loans, he's gotten a 2009 WS ring from Steiner, offers to do memorabilia, he will be on a Topps card, and he will choose the Jeter photo for Jeter's 2012 Topps card. And more likely to come. Perhaps he will be able to cash in on it indirectly and do as well as if he'd sold the ball. Wouldn't that be poetic justice?

Bumping the thread (it's one day short of a year since the last post) because I found something interesting on the Steiner website - a ball signed by Jeter and Christian Lopez...



Price $774.99. (link)

The same ball, with only Jeter's signature, is $699.99. That means Steiner feels Lopez' autograph is worth $75.00. (On the other hand, let's be fair to Steiner - Lopez' signature does include an inscription).

Comment as you see fit.

The irony of the image of a dying Babe Ruth standing in silent observation as Yankee Stadium is demolished.

Exactly why I selected that vantage point.

I am not above admitting that the first thing I thought of on seeing these excellent photos is that I wonder how I could get a piece of it for my collection to go with my 1976 W.S. ticket and program from the game I attended. Is that wrong?

That location is now a little league field, possibly the least money making item per square foot that can go in that prime real estate. While I believe in the ability of the franchise to make money, what a great investment in the future of baseball.
