I'm hoping his children continue to run the team in a similar way to Steinbrenner.

Posted by Krusty (aka Krustylu) Jul 14 '10, 16:07

But I'm fearful of what will happen if and when they sell the team. I doubt we'll ever see another owner willing to put so much of the profits back into the team and not his/her pocket.

Hopefully there will be a hard cap soon anyway. -- nm - nubby Jul 14, 16:26 5

  - Lebron will only make $500k more this season than JD Drew. - TFox Jul 14, 16:35 2
    - That's a symbol of baseball revenue vs basketball and idiot owners - Will Hunting Jul 14, 16:40

- Agreed. Say what you will about steinbrenner, but it's a proven fact that he ran that team into the stratosphere. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 14, 16:20 14
  - I disagree. The team only took off when he was suspended(the second time) and Michaels and Showalter had the reigns - CQ Jul 14, 16:35 7
    - Yup. Michaels was the architect of that dynasty. Once Steinbrenner was out he was able to make moves without the second - Krusty Jul 14, 16:38 2
      - don't get me wrong, George was a great great business man, but he meddled way too much -- nm - CQ Jul 14, 16:39 1
        
        He really did, more so after they weren't winning in the 80's. But I have no doubt in my mind that Stick Michaels built those teams - Krusty Jul 14, 16:45

      - they count, obvie, but I'm talking about what the Yankees are today and have been for 15+ years -- nm - CQ Jul 14, 16:38 2

        Yes but the point was that the team turned around when he was suspended. It did and I think it had a lot to do with him not being able - Krusty Jul 14, 16:51

  - But the rest of the country won't be too sad to see them fall. -- nm - the liioulu with humidity frizzed hair Jul 14, 16:22 2
    - all empires fall. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 14, 16:23 1
      - Some just take longer to rise again. -- nm - the liioulu with humidity frizzed hair Jul 14, 16:29
My first thought was he can't possibly fire Billie Martin again. - the liioulu with humidity frizzed hair Jul 14, 16:10
