Yankees Win .... Again

The New York Yankees won Game 6 of the World Series 7-3 over the Philadelphia Phillies to win the Fall Classic for the 27th time.

Is this good for baseball?

Maybe.

The Yankees are dedicated to winning and take the necessary steps to give themselves a realistic chance of winning every year. They must be admired for this dedication. Players go to the Yankees not only for the money but they know that the team will be strong and they will have a shot at a title.

However, there is no parity in baseball. Several teams do not have the financial wherewithal to even consider competing with the Yankees and have written off the season before the first pitch is thrown on opening day.

Your position on this comes down to if you believe there should be parity in professional sport. If you believe every team should have a realistic chance if they run their organization properly then you will think the Yankees winning again is not good for baseball. If you think we should have epic dynasties that tower over the teams that play in fly-overs then you think the Yankees winning is good for baseball. Both sides have their merits and drawbacks.

I know this The New York Yankees are very good at what they do and for that, they should be applauded. The rest is a debate that will go on for a long time to come.
