These quotes are why I love the Yankess...

"The AL East can toughen you up. Hopefully it will work to our benefit. We will do what it takes to win. Look at the money we are paying out in revenue sharing. We are baseball's stimulus package. The fans of other teams have no reason to complain about us or the Red Sox or the teams that support the rest of baseball."

"The fans pay the bills, we owe it to ourselves and to them to put the best product out there."

"We have the highest payroll and the reason is we are committed to our fans to win. We just have to (bleeping) win."

Hank Steinbrenner...

"Hal and Hank, myself, everyone has a sacred obligation to our fans to make the team better in any way we can," Levine said. "The Yankee brand is important. There are fans all over the world. From George Steinbrenner on, we have to put the best product we possibly can put on the line. Cash looks at it from baseball operations, as he should. We look at it as running a $5 billion company. Really, the issue came down to, does this make the Yankees better?"
