you guys gotta be kidding with this small market stuff , during george's tenure , small market teams won in the 70's 80' s 90's and 00's

take the orioles for example , is it george's fault that the have fallen into the abyss ...... or is it the lack of commitment from baltimore's ownership to spending $$$ to get better

The Orioles are a great example of what i am talking about. They have actually spent more money than they should have based on revenues but havent won because they spent the money poorly.

The reason that the Yankees didn't win more championships was because of George. The late 90's teams were built during the era when George was banned. The latest yankee teams were built during a period when George was no longer calling the shots. This is not a coincidence.
