Re: [ST] I have loved those championships won by the Marlins....

["Denis Liakos" <denoose@xxxxxxx>]

Derek Jeter. Bernie Willliams. Andy Pettite. Alfonso Soriano- all products
of the Yankee organization.  Successful modern sports teams from F 1/Ferrari
and  Michael Schumacher to Moto GP Honda and Valentino Rossi to soccer, the
NFL, etc. all get the results they enjoy by hiring the best, and developing
a formula for victory. A team like the Yankees does have the obvious
benefits of an owner with deep pockets, and also being in a major market.
But there's also a lot more parity in baseball revenue sharing- the
difference is a lot of team owners have taken their share of that revenue
and become wealthy. The Yankees have put a lot of their resources back into
the team/ organization, as they have for many years. Like any long term
successful business, if you don't invest in the future, you're doomed to
dwell in the past.

That's all on this topic, back to our regular scheduled broadcast, please
