Message #3167 of 6634  *NEW* To :   All From :   Jaydawg   Subject :   According to Forbes Magazine, the Yankees are the first $1 Billion team Date :   4/20/06, 8:52pm This is another reason why a salary cap is needed. Other teams, particularly the small market ones, don't stand much of a chance in this day and age of stratospheric and out of control salaries among players. If the NBA and NFL can level their playing fields in this area, then baseball certainly can. For now, George Steinbrenner gets first crack at the best players money can buy and even overpay some of them (i.e. Johnny Damon for $52 mill.), mainly for egotistical reasons. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #3167 • Back to Topics 2947 reads 1528 clickthrough(s) You cannot start a topic in the Headlines or Classifieds area... if you want to post a new message, try one of our other message areas!
