what's the issue? If I was retired and someone offered me obscene amounts of money to go back to work, I'd sure take it. It's fine sports for owners to treat pro sports as pure business, so how come when the players act the same everyone gets all holy? Face it - its about the money, just like any business. If you want purity, selflessness and athletes competing for the joy of competion and the sport itself, support amateur leagues and quit buying tickets to pro sports. The only real question here is whether the Yanks are wasting a big pile of dough (again), and since I'm no yankees fan, I could care less. Tip of the hat to Roger - he gets a ton of money to play part of a season and not travel unless he is playing, sounds like a good deal to me; and don't think for a second that any of his teammates would not have taken the same deal if they could get it.
