It is truly unfortunate that in a blog entitled “Baseball: America’s Pastime” someone who claims to be a fan would argue that it is game of money. Money is what has ruined the game. If only we could get back to the “good old days” when a team like the Minnesota Twins who recruit homegrown talent like Joe Mauer straight out of the Minneapolis high school system or Justin Morneau, this years AL MVP and coach them into players who have proven themselves to be the future of the league. How can a Yankees fan appreciate his players? Two years ago Yankees fans would have proudly worn “Damon Sucks” t-shirts to irritate their rival Red Sox, but $52 Million dollars later they have no reservations about calling him a Yankee. Speaking of Joe Mauer, anyone see he was signed to 4 years 33 million? I wonder why a player who just won the batting title would be willing to accept what seems like such a low salary in light of recent Yankee signings. Maybe he wants to win a championship on teamwork and camaraderie, not bankroll.
