My new reason for hatin another NY team is 62.50, however I really did not need any more reasons.Of course I see the Yankee's continue there splendid way's.Ok if your a Yankee fan, wouldn't you rather players came thru the system?Is it fair to smaller markets? This year my two favorite teams are the Rays and anyone playing the Yankee's.

Personally, I don't care for the yankees too much.
Although I follow sports, I'm not really emotionally invested in any team. Sometimes I root against the yankees just to get on other people's nerves (I live in NYC).

I do think it is much more exciting and rewarding when players that come up through the minor league system work together to win a championship.
If you remember, the good yankees teams from 1996-2001 had a core of good players that played hard. Very few superstars but some great teams with good starting pitching and an excellent bullpen.

Trying to buy good players through free agency has not worked too well for the yankees.
