So, if you can make a profit and field a decent team, you'll be happy?
You wouldnt last long as a GM and even less time as a manager. I thought the name of the game was winning.
As far as the game "being here" in twenty years......have no fear, this is baseball we're talking about. It'll always be here......it would take more than Steinbrenner to bring it down.
This is all "green-eyed jealousy of the Yank's winning. I didnt hear folks yelling about the Yankees being the "anti-Christ" a few years ago when they weren't winning. I only hear it now. This all stems from the fact that the players who MADE baseball way back in the EARLY 1900s wore the pinstripes.
Face it, if it werent for the Yankee teams of baseball's early years, the game wouldnt hold the mystique and place in American culture that it does today.
Joshuaaaaaa, say what you won't but you'll never make me believe that you are so "pure" that you wouldnt win at any cost. Any owner or GM in the league would do EXACTLY what Steinbrenner does/has done in order to win. Hell, Ted Turner tried to, but he wasnt near as smart as 'Ol George. George spends alot of money, but he spends it on guys who produce as they should. Spending money, in and of itself, doesnt win pennants. Spending money WISELY does.
