The ball was rolled to the dugout, where it was picked up by some ball bay and immediately thrown into a bucket full of other balls. Posada got a ball, but probably not the ball. Whoops.

They do have a lot of money, but they also spend it on their team. Something you can't say for all owners.Roberto E.

It has always irritated me that people think the Yankees should be punished just because they have been so successful in building such a great product over the last 100 years.Rob B in NVnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-1461331091991599742010-04-17T15:09:36.663-07:002010-04-17T15:09:36.663-07:00Interesting article on baseball's need for a s...Interesting <a href="http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/why-a-salary-cap-isnt-a-solution-041610" rel="nofollow">article</a> on baseball's need for a salary cap.Roberto E.
