That’s a lot of cash $$$ for certain and old daddy George really made this team worth what it is. What are the odds that sons Hanky and Spanky will devalue this proud team? It was one thing for George, whom understood the goings on of baseball to some degree to over ride his GM, but these 2 seem to have the “Peter Angelos” ego problem and also as little baseball knowledge as him to boot when it comes to overiding what is needed to fix the needs of a team.
Possibly, but the one advantage the Yankees have over every team (except the Mets) is that they have the largest market in the nation to draw on.
So even if Hank screws up the personnel of this team, the overall value of the team probably won’t suffer too much because of the revenue potential that comes from being located in New York.
