Some non-Yankee fan Nucky???

The Astros are going to have a hard time with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Los Angeles Dodgers - Wikipedia
Everybody around us in NJ were METS fan's, heavy duty and most friends down here are Red Sox or Cubs fans.

I was looking forward to a New York Yankees - Brooklyn (oops! L A.) Dodgers world series. They were foes six times during 1947 -56. What history!. Just think of the rosters for that period.

How is it that with the top two highest payrolls in baseball, these two teams don't meet every year.

How can the Yankees possibly have lost to the Houston Astros whose payroll is about 60% of the Yankees.

Baseball and all four major sports really should do something serious about a salary cap. This idea of adjusting for location is not working. Allow every team the same amount of money and let them go at it. Too many pennants and World Series have been bought.

Much truth in what you say. I think of the Steinbrenner years.

Only 158 days until opening day. Yipppee!!! How many years has the salary cap issue been around and what changes have been made? To travel to Yankee Stadium, tolls, pac the kar, have a soda and a hot dog and buy a pennant is easily $200 or more. I don't think your typical fan would go to the game unless top drawer talent is there, at least in N.Y. I'm rooting for the Astros they really showed me they've got heart.
