3580...Yankees Rule

Baseball.

Len Berman reports that "...the Yankees are the most valuable franchise in baseball. According to Forbes, they are now worth $1.7 billion. Nobody else is over a billion. The Red Sox come in second at $912 million. And despite the Mets financial issues, they are still ranked 5th at $747-million. And to graphically illustrate the have/have not issue that suffocates baseball, in the NFL, Dallas is #1 at 1.8 billion. Half the league is worth a billion or more. The lowest ranking team is Jacksonville. $725-million. So the worst is a bit less than half the value of the top team. In baseball, Pittsburgh brings up the rear at $304 million. The Yankees are worth nearly 6 times as much!"

Pittsburgh hasn't made the playoffs since they let a young hitter, Barry Bonds, get away about two decades ago. Kiss the star's ass. How many times do I have to say this? Kiss the star's ass.
