You know, its so funny to witness the bipolar personality of Yankees fans...when they are the top dog in the league because George guessed right that the players he bought with his millions perform up to the superhuman perfection expected by the fans to earn their paycheck, they are smug, myopic and just waiting to be hoist on their own petard when George signs players who mail in their performances and the fans act like Armageddon is upon them. I have to agree with Neil on this; just because George has the bucks to buy the best players doesn't mean squat when it comes to work ethic and a love for the game. The storied Yankees teams of the 20's-40's are so much different from the Yankee teams owned by George when it comes to class acts. Gehrig, Bambino, etc vs. A-Rod, Jeter? No question Gehrig and his teammates are better examples of sportsmanship and class.
