To be honest. I am a lifelong Yankee fan. What most people fail to consider is that their stadium is packed when the Yankee's come to town. Living in the Tampa area now I can tell you that the normal crowd of 3000-6000 per game is always dwarfed when the Bombers show up. And this is the case in a buch of smaller markets. Baseball owners are not poor. They make decisions based upon their own thoughts and beliefs. George wants to win and isn't afraid to put his money out there to do so. The real question is why do other owners refuse to open the wallet? Other then the owner of the Red Sox ( probably the richest owner is baseball) you won't see one owner complain about the Yankee's pay roll because it's good for business.
