(Re: THE YANKEES ARE CHAMPIONS OF BASEBALL!), posted by Grand Concourse on Thu Nov 5 17:04:42 2009. This all got out of control years ago when that guy from Oakland was spending big on players.Salaries went through the roof.I saw an old newsreel years ago on Ebbet's Field and they followed some of the '55 Dodgers.A lot of those guys worked in the off season in the hardware store, delivering groceries or at drug stores! And year after year, they came back to that same team. I was a Yankee Fan from 1960 to 1962 when the Mets were organized ( my NY Giants Baseball parents forced my to abdicate my Yankee affiliation and become a Met Fan or lose tv rights).I can still recite the Yankee lineup from '61, Hector Lopez in left, Mantle center, Maris right, Clete Boyer third, Tony Kubek short, Bobby Richardson second, Moose Skowron first, Whitey Ford pitching and Yogi Berra or Elston Howard catching.Same guys all the time. |
