ALL THOSE YEARS AGO

Someone asked joltin' joe dimaggio what he could command in today's market place.

suppossedly the yankee clipper answered

i would walk into mr. steinbrenners' office and say howdy partner


roy kinsella wrote closer to the truth than "mr coffee's" take...

and as great an asset derek jeter has been to the "yankee brand"

the common line from the front office is and remains- this is a business decision.

and mr jeter and his agent, casey close hold little leverage...

folks do not seem to remember-so i will remind

the texas rangers agreed to trade alex rodriguez to the boston red sox

as long as a-rod agreed to de-value his contract by some $17-18 million.

a-rod was a- ok with that.

well-the mlbpa was not- and for good legal and ethical reasons

trade denied

a-rod is not bigger than the mlbpa

(some of the later a-fraud comments-were directed at him for his thumbing his nose at the union-as much as it was the belief that he was "dirty")& ((arrogant))

he gets traded instead to the yankees for alphonso soriano and joaquin arias

and the yankees assume full contractual obligations.

the following season (popa used to say-you can look it up)

the increased attendence at home games paid the difference between the rodriguez
and soriano contracts and made the franchise a profit.

it was a business decision and it paid a handsome return.

derek jeter (casey close)

how can you return on the next investment?

((the elephants have now entered the tent))

george warned- this day would occur
(probably over his dead body)

it is no longer "cool" for a pre-pubescent 12 year old to pine (ash or oak)
over derek jeter!

his matinee idol days are over

for every #2 you see these days

there are 3 #13's

the latino community

has greater buying power than the "mulatto" community

(barack obama aside)


((nobody calls derek the "black" shortstop))



on the approach to 3000 hits

(pabloshouse will return manana)

which will still be today

((i got you babe))

even mr truby wears shorts



(pabloshouse)


ps this is a work in progress and i have elected to post as i go
a la sam clemens...

this will continue as it will...
