i hate the yankees. - davidmihm, on 06/27/2008, -0/+4More shocking is the Yankees' payroll (which the article lists at $209MM). I bet that is more than the GDP of most African countries! Kind of sickening really.

- vangogh99, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1People like to complain all the time about player salaries. I take it everyone who complains would have turned the money down.
Face it. The reason salaries and payrolls are so high is because we're willing to pay to see the games, buy the merchandise, and watch on tv. The teams end up making more money back by paying some of those salaries. Sure the Yankees have a $200 million payroll, but spending that much each year is part of the reason the franchise is valued at $1.2 billion. - iPiranha, on 06/30/2008, -0/+1Don't get angry at George and Harold for investing in their team. We wouldn't complain if owners in our neck of the woods did that.
