Message: [QUOTE="TODDNTEXAS, post: 36963, member: 85"] Hey, I became a fan in '78 at the age of 6. I didn't grow up in the golden age of.Yankee baseball. Struggling through the 80's and early 90's wasn't much fun but it was still the Yankees. All the tradition and success, long before the age of free agency, I had learned of from my dad who had watched whitey Ford play in Bradford, PA in the eastern league. It just lefft an indelible impression on me at such a young age. If you want to blame someone blame curt flood. What if free agency had never happened? Maybe the most lucrative franchise in sports might still attain the same talent because of what they could pay vs a city like Tampa that could care less about baseball. I guess it boils down to deep seeded envy of that success over the entire history of the team. I dislike notre dame as much as anybody but not because of their success. [/QUOTE]
