I enjoy competition and there's not a lot of competing going on when I can say "the Yankees will win teh world series" and be right like 9 out of 10 times. Most of the teams will never have a shot at even getting to the world series. Half the teams only exist as cannon fodder and practice squads for the other half.

This is the typical response of someone who doesn't like baseball that much in the first place. The Yankees have the highest payroll in baseball, but there are a lot of other teams with just as much money, for example, the Mets, Dodgers, Cubs, Red Sox, Orioles, just to name a few. But why is it the Yankees come out on top almost every time? It is because the Yankees are willing to spend the kind of money it takes to create the best baseball team. The other owners all have this kind of money, they just don't want to spend it, because the other owners treat it as a business. George Steinbrenner does too, to a point, but the bottom line for him is to win. Not to mention the Yankees have an extremely loyal fan base who is willing to purchase some of the most expensive tickets in the league, and just loves to buy Yankees jerseys, hats. t-shirts, toilet paper, etc... I don't see that kind of fan support anywhere else, save for the mets, cubs, and sox. And before anyone starts spouting off about how the Yankees go out and simply outbid every other team for the best players, let me say this. Although this is partially true, the core of these Yankee teams that have don so well recently have been player who have come up through their farm system, and that is a testament to their baseball knowledge, and not their wallet. Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Jorge Posada, Andy Pettite, Alfonso Soriano, Nick Johnson, and Mariano Rivera, all came up through the Yankee farm system.

 

I don't mean to rant, but I hate when the uninformed make comments about how the Yankees are ruining baseball. They should be an example to the rest of baseball on how to conduct business.

There's the problem. The talent is too condensed. Its no fun to watch when the outcome of the season was determined three years earlier when the same old team that wins practically every year signed eight new atomic supermen to their team, regardless of how they did it.

A lot of people would say that the pool of superstars in baseball is rather thin. And you forgot to put in your quote that all these players were signed out of high school to the Yankees, meaning they were signed on their potential, and were not lured to the Yankees via auction and free agency.
