Baseball has forever been my favorite sport. it's what I did as a kid and what I always loved most. It's what got me into college and what almost became my profession. When I was married, I would even often joke that I was married to baseball and had a wife on the side.
However...all that has changed. Over the past few weeks, we've seen the New York Yankees prove that they have a complete monopoly on the baseball world. NO ONE...not even the Red Sox can compete with the financial power that the Yankees have.
Today the Yankees signed slugger Mark Teixiera to a contract valued at more than 170 million dollars. That puts their current off-season spending in the range of a HALF OF A BILLION DOLLARS. There is no team in major league baseball that can come close to matching that kind of money.
The Yankees have made a mockery of this beloved game and the powers of Major League Baseball have done nothing but sit back and allow it to happen. It has become apparent that no one seems to care about the fans of this game, so as of today, they have lost one fan after 30 years
