I agree with everything you're saying, but I shy away from the $$$ topic because the Sox are in the top 5 for salary, too. I'd rather stick to the idea that 99% of Yankee fans are obnoxious and will turn on their own players at the drop of a hat. The team has only one guy with any zest or personality - Joba - who has a ways to go to be a star, but a least he appears to care. The rest look and act like robots. They play in a stadium that cost a billion dolars and made zero improvements to the games played there. Now, the old place was a toilet, and they added a lot of nice restaurants and stores (as in more income for the franchise), but the field is a carbon copy of the old one, the seats are insanely expensive and there are still (accordong to what I've read) over 1000 obstructed view seats. It all amounts to the same thing... that franchise doesn't care for its fans. It's no wonder their so venomous.
