From the time of Catfish Hunter and Reggie Jackson, the Yankees have tried to buy titles. They've succeeded at times and failed at times.
Need I remind anyone of the high priced outfield of Dave Collins, Ken Griffey Sr. and Steve Kemp?
I give Steinbrenner credit in that he tries. He does whatever it takes to win. I agree that it's at the expense of smaller market teams, but as soon as someone says that he always buys titles....why haven't the Mets won anything in the last 18 years? How about the Dodgers? The Red Sox? The Orioles in the first few years of Angelos??
Let the Yanks spend. They give a lot of money to great players. Sometimes it translates into titles, sometimes it doesn't. As the Marlins celebrate their championship, tell me how the Yankees are bad for baseball. While the Angels bask in their incredible 2002 championship, tell me how NY is the evil empire.
