Letter to the Editor: Yankee greed


The Stuart News/Port St. Lucie News (Stuart, Florida)
November 19, 2009

Dear Editor,

Acknowledging Mr. Tonello's letter of (Nov. 14), when he wrote that the Yankees would never agree to a salary cap. He hit the nail on the head! Level the playing field with leveling the salaries. Give other teams a chance.

Mr. Hammer's letter of (Nov. 15) personifies Yankee greed. No team in baseball history has been greedier. Add up the salaries of just their infielders and it comes close to $100 million per year.

It's no coincidence that the team with the most money has the most titles. This comes not from a Yankee fan vs. a Red Sox fan, but from a "baseball fan."

Didn't this guy ever see, "Wall Street'" the movie?

Also, the Yankees won most of their WS championships when there was no big money being paid to anyone.

Change the rules if you don't like them
Mr. Feehley ( sounds a lot like Seely ), although I'm sure there is no connection.

So write your damn, predictable drivel to Bud Selig, not to a newspaper baseball fans read.

The Yankees are greedy because they pay their players a lot? Interesting point. My idea of a greedy franchise is something like the Clippers.
