No crying in baseball.

First, the Boston Dirt Dogs whine when a player slides hard into second base to break up a double play.

Now, this:

"The thing about the Yankees, one of the reasons they're so respected, is they do things right. Always have," manager John Gibbons said. "They've got a lot of pride and a lot of class. They play the game hard.

"That's not Yankee pride right there," he said. "That's not the way they play. I thought it was bush league."

Forget about pride, class, and respect. The thing about the Yankees is winning. If anybody respects a 22-29 team, they're fools.

Nice guys finish last and the spirits of Thurman Munson and Billy Martin were smiling when they saw that play. Only difference is, Munson was looking down and Martin was looking up.
