Who thinks Baseball is a Joke????

[EPelle]

So true! So it is Steinbrenner who is the joke! :-)

And if George wasn't giving the money to the players, it would just stay in his pocket. Who says he is more deserving than the players??

That's not what George Steinbrenner (sp) thought, and he is the guy signing the checks.

The guy who gave Arod the $250 mil contract was Tom Hicks of the Rangers who apparently bid vs. himself when he signed Arod to that contract.. I think the amount of yearly salary that George is responsible for is $15 mil per. Based on what others of equal ability are paid George is getting a fair deal.
