  4. I won't disagree with that. My only time business class with them was cashing in my air miles. I fly EVA for premium economy and they get me there at around 11:30 AM.

  16. yes I will surrender to you and Vic, Joe!
  17. There I disagree. Free Agency. The Yankees (and a few other big market teams) have driven the price of players sky high. Ticket prices have risen dramatically, small market teams find it difficult to compete. The Yankees are among the elite because they have big bucks. Before free agency the Yankees fell on hard times starting in 1965. Then they got players like Reggie Jackson and Catfish Hunter from the poor Oakland Athletics. They got Chris Chambliss from poor Cleveland, Don Baylor, Alex Rodriguez, on and on and on. The Yankees are a better franchise but I differ that baseball is better or that those of us that could afford to go to many games a year now can only go to one or two a year, if that. The poor have been priced out of the ballpark. In recent years they have developed a good nucleus from their own minor league system (which they lacked when GS took over). Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada and Robinson Cano come to mind.
  18. Actually they won their last AL pennant in 1964 and their next in 1976. So, technically mid 60s to mid 70s - when GS took over.
  19. Understood Yankee tradition? By lying to Yogi Berra and fucking him over as a manager? How about Joe Torre? George was win at all costs - the man did not know the meaning of the word loyalty. The Yankee greats were win by talent. George could afford to buy all the players he wanted because he is in the richest sports market in the world and was filthy rich to start with. I will give him credit for putting the Yankees back on the map after the miserable 70s but he was a lousy human being. Bob Sheppard, the long time stadium announcer at Yankee Stadium just passed away at 99. He had more to do with Yankee Tradition than GS did, imho.
