They don't do it because of how good a team is, just the ratings the game will bring them. |

Not a chance. They do have a lot of fans. But do you honestly think that 75% of all baseball fans like the Yankees or Red Sox? How do other teams sell out stadiums then? |

I'll give you that.. But I also guarantee you that more than 75% of baseball fans (not casual fans who buy hats and think that Sammy Sosa is still playing) don't care about the Yankees/Red Sox enough to want to sit through John Kruk talking about whether or not Derek Jeter's jockstrap fit correctly or the gum on the bottom of David Ortiz' cleet for ten minutes every night.. It would be nice to hear about some other teams every once inawhile (without hearing the inevitable Yankees reference every 12 seconds during non-Yankees/Red Sox highlights.) |

There was two in a row on ESPN this week (or end of last week) Recently I have begun to see what fans of other teams are talking about when they say that ESPN/Fox talk way too much about The Red Sox and Yankees and I do have to agree that it is annoying. |

Yep, exactly 75%. C'mon, you know what I meant. 75% = 3/4. It's an estimate. Rather than pointing out a typo of sorts, next time try to add your light to the glowing firmament of discussion... |

Your players would only be paid like 500K a year and be forced into what the old football players are having to endure right now. Johnny Unitus is sitting in a nursing home right now and can't afford to pay his bills. The game wouldn't be more of a world wide sport as it is now. I even doubt the sport would of survived to present day. |

Baseball would probably have died by now if it wasnt for New york Or Boston, so no its not better without them. But I will agree with some with the statement that the Sox/Yanks Rivarly is the most annoying rivarly at the time, all day every day, all you hear about, its kind of disgusting. The people on sport center put out what sells, i would do the same thing to make more money heck yes To say they dont know what they talk about is niave, I hate it when people say that, are you on that show? they get paid to do that stuff, so they know what there talking about, u just dont think so because sometimes you dont agree and think ur always right, which is part of being a normal human being, when me and my girlfriend get in a fight, I always think im right, although ultimatelly I'll have to give up because she breaks out the crying routine and what not, thats another story though. Bottom Line- without the Yanks and Sox, there wouldnt be baseball |

No way. Ohio State/Michigan own this rivalry. You probably dont agree because your probably not big on college football, but OSU-Michigan is the biggest rivalry in all of sports. |

I thought this thread was referring to the played-out rivalry.. I don't know that any sane person could actually say that baseball would be better off without the two clubs, themselves. |

Uhh.. I didn't really know I had to pick sides.. I just saw several posts talking about what the state of baseball would be without the clubs even existing, and your's happened to be the last one, so I quoted it.. I just thought the read was referencing the rivalry moreso than the teams not being there at all. |

Dont have to take sides, but i thought by qouting me you were saying something that agreed or disagreed with what my post said thats all, anywayz. Rivarly is gay, without the teams though, no baseball |

I would have to disagree with this one. I think the McGwire-Sosa HR Chase in '98 really helped baseball out and made it more popular or at least at the time. |
