Without hate, there's no love
Are the Yankees good for baseball? Families of four being able to attend a game, have a snack and read the program without losing half their life's earnings would be good for the game. Last year's bone-chilling playoffs, every-series-going-down-to-the-wire drama is good for baseball. Watching Barry Bonds and other slugging studs crush the ball half way to the next town and not wondering if that's a syringe in his back pocket is good for baseball. Seeing Marlins manager Jack McKeon, a 73-year-old, teach players a third of his age about discipline and the drive to win is good for baseball. No-hitters, two-and-a-half-hour games, hustle triples, home plate collisions and small market underdog teams wining the World Series is good for baseball. But you asked about the Yankees? Absolutely.
