My staement that because of competitive balance in the NFL, virtually every team can become a powerful team is still ture and is not true in baseball. Social factors aside would you agree that if you bought the Minnesota Vikings you would have a better chance of winning and establishing a championship contender than if you bought the Minnesota Twins? Or Miami Dolphins vs FL marlins? Or Seattle Seahawks vs. Seattle mariners?
Chuck you make it sound as this all started under geroge

was baseball un-competitve in the 20's , 30's 40' and 50's when the yanks were winning every thing in sight

weren't there teams in those decades that never had a chance either , i mean come on , yankee domination started in the 20's , had a hiccup from '64 until '76 , baseball has survived and prospered with the yankees winning in all decades
