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

    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............????????

    STOP...just...STOP...dont try and make George Stenbrenner a saint...jesus

    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.

    Im not talking about the players...im talking about the organization..they expect the city to fork out money for them but what do they do to give back?

    It was the organization that set up this week. The players just got attached to it and followed up after.

    No one is making him a saint, just pointing out the chairty work that he and the organization do since you seem to think they contribue nothing positive. We have given you plenty of examples of how the Steinbrenners do more than just line their pockets but you have yet to come up with an example to suppport your point. Keep using those sterotypes though.

    Interesting in todays NY news...
    Detriot TIgers possibly entertaining dealing Granderson. If so Yanks would be interested. I'd take that in a second....then put Melky in LF.

    Dont see it happening though at all.

    It would be enticing but he had a pretty big dip offensively last season and can't hit lefties at all so I would be cautious

    Hes a billionaire (1.3 billion net worth I believe)..he has more money than any other owner in baseball..theres salary cap in baseball cause no one wants to upset George..he owns a cable television channel with limitless revenue! The Yankees have an unfair advantage over every other team. That being said the man with the big pockets goes out and spends hundreds of millions on players..spends a few thousand dollars on a couple of charities and we're all suppose to applaud him?

    Youre almost dead George...give it all away! Eff those kids of yours ...theyre bastards aways! LOL

    I wasn't trying to be witty. Just felt like saying it. Did you ever quit smoking cigarettes, have a bitchy pregnant wife on your hands, be unemployed, have your baseball team lose the World Series, and go on major Pearl Jam withdrawl at one time???? LOL

    I just wanna know who's D they both sucked to get into their position. I know, I know, Suzyn likes to play the angle that her and Torre went through suffering from cancer together or something. What a self-aborbed C-word.
