I'd like to invite all my readers (all five or six of you) to take a tour of the Creationism Museum. You can learn how dinosaurs and humans roamed the Earth at the same time!
Which reminds me of the first WFAN caller I heard yesterday, chastising the Abreu deal: "The Yankees will not win with all these free agents. They won with homegrown talent. They need clutch, homegrown talent like ..." (Please pause and put down your drinks.) "... Tino and Brosius."
I wonder what percentage of Yankee fans really think (a) Tino was clutch, (b) Tino and Brosius were homegrown, (c) the 1998 - 2000 Winner Yankees had more homegrown talent than the 2001 - 2006 Loser Yankees.
I think the answer is 99.9999%
The math goes something like this:
(Number of Yankee Fans - 1) / (Number of Yankee Fans).
O'Neill was never a Red, Girardi was never a Rockie, Boggs never played for Boston, Cone never played for Kansas City, Wetteland never played for Montreal, Knoblauch never played for the Twins.
Fielder, Duncan, Justice, Hayes, Neagle, Hill, Canseco, were all Yankees, but not really. Not to those who understand what it means to be a Yankee.
Some claim that Homegrown Yankees and Free Agent "Yankees" roamed the same ballfields at the same time, but they are merely blasphemers. Go worship an Alex Rodriguez false idol, Blasphemer!
