RECESSION? NOT HERE?





Recession Proof Yankees! That is absolutely right, during these economic times only the Yankees can afford to spend and offer players a boat load of "dinero." With the creation of the new stadium the Yankees seem to have moved away from the old baseball tradition of offering middle class families and blue collar workers some entertainment value. The new stadium is completely geared to offer corporations and upper class individuals the life of luxury for merely 3 hours. Even the bleacher seats are now obstructed by the member's only "Mohegan Sun Sports Bar!" Wghile the financial capital of the world continues to struggle during this recession only the Yankees seem to overcome this epidemic. With the MTA and the NYC cabs both raising their fares, you would think that the Yankees would keep prices the same or offer better ticket deals for season ticket holders to help families go to the game, NOPE! Instead the Yankees have shafted hundreds of season ticket holders by either moving them to another location (higher up seats or obstructed views) or hiking up the prices. With all these banks and corporations failing, how exactly are the Yankees getting all of their funding? You cannot expect nothing less because the Yankees are the "Yankees," playing in the greatest city in the world, they are expected to be above the rest. In this case they are clearly above banks, corporations, and probably even the government, damn those RECESSION PROOF YANKEES!
