Yankees

I really like Welch's post on the Angels-Yankees series that just concluded.

A lot of people have rooted against this Yankees team because of ownership's willingness to carry a huge payroll, and that's fair enough. But too much of the hatred of these guys seems to be either because they win so much of the time (much like the hatred of Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls that developed over the latter years of the dynasty) or because of the sins of Yankees past (i.e. the old arrogant bunch epitomized by Reggie Jackson).

It's nice to see a true baseball fan -- and an Angels fan at that -- pay the current classy group of Yankees a compliment.
