Why not...the god damn Yankees spend $100's of millions on washed up losers and high profile duds why wouldnt he try and cash in on their spending spree (need i mention Carl Pavano and Kevin Brown?)

Different times my friend. Old news on those guys, Cashman has been much wiser with the money of late. How about those duds and losers named CC, Tex and AJ?

I would be very surprised if Matsui signs with Seattle. I've heard that he does not like Ichiro.

Different times? The recession hit last year and guess who was spending 40% of all free agent dollars! You guessed it..the New York Yankees...they had no one else driving up prices. They went for the gusto and overpaid for ALL 3 of those players..Yes they worked out but they didnt have any competition is getting them so who knows if they would've had em this year had there been no economic downtime. Oh and I heard Cashman say they were only going to spend a fraction of what they spent last year..so they spend $440+ million..whats your fraction idiot..$110 million? its sickening...go try and buy another championship while people in your OWN CITY are struggling to make a buck..I say that because they have ALWAYS overpaid for player just to get them...how bout gauge the market..go through the negotiation process...MAYBE win the player..and THEN take the extra money and give back some of those millions to help the city..just my 2 cents

Ahhh, insults, gotta love them.

Like I have asked a number of times...Where would you want the Yankees revenue to go if it does not go back into the team?

And don't give me this shit about people struggling to make a buck. The Yankees are a business not a fucking charity.

Edit: Yeah, different times on the Yankees spending a whole bunch of money on washed up FA's, your original post had no mention of the economy but way to spin things.

That idiot comment wasnt directed towards you my man...it was directed towards Cashman and the Steinbrenners..I wouldnt insult a fellow PJ member. Why shouldnt they donate to charity? Businesses do that..The Phillies do...and the Phillies are a green stadium..they have found ways to help the environment..what have the steinbrenners done except line their pockets? The Yankees are the poster franchise for what is wrong with sports in general. Have been for a while...funny thing is..the only ones who dont see it are YANKEES FANS

The Yankees do plenty for charity. They started a week this year called Hope Week and while the actual week was only one week all the players donated time and money outside of it to many of these causes. It was actually a really awesome week. Jason Zillo (the head of PR) has made an whole lot of strides to give back to the community in recent years.

I respect what the Phillies do but to think the Yankees are some big mean organization just because they have the highest payroll is absurd.

The new stadium is also a whole lot more "green" than the old one.

BTW. The ALS sufferer mentioned in the article above has since died.

it's pretty common knowledge around these neck of the woods that george steinbrenner donates PLENTY to charity. the man is a god in florida for donating money to build schools and additions onto hospitals. anyone outside of the yankee fan base doesn't hear much about it because he was quoted, "once you make your charity work public, you are doing it for the wrong reason."

so the steinbrenners spend their money on a winning team and charity work. so the pocket lining you speak of............????????
