The New York Yankees have signed Johnny Damon of the Boston Red Sox to a four year $52 million dollar contract. I guess for Damon it's great. But, for the rest of the world of baseball it is just another brick in the wall.
George Steinbrenner continues to throw money around like he is made of it. Come to think of it he is. But, no other team in major league baseball has the resources of the Yankees. And the bigger problem is the rich get richer, because greedy bums like Steinbrenner don't share any of their multi-bazillion TV contracts with the small market franchises like those in Kansas City or Cincinnati. But, you really can't blame George since there are no salary caps or revenue sharing agreements. And who you ask is responsible for this? Why it's Bud Selig the "commissioner" of Major League Baseball. But Bud is clueless and has been sleeping on the job for the past ten years. So don't expect him to wake up any time soon. Until, he does, the so called "national pastime will continue to play in the shadow of the NFL. And what you might ask are Bud's credentials for being the commissioner? He was a used car salesman in Milwaukee. And now because MLB has such brilliant owners he is now the whipping boy of George Steinbrenner and the owners of the other 29 teams in major league baseball. Aaarrgh!
