Zach Crizer, I refuse to accept any discussion of baseball economics, and the Rays and the Yankees, that doesn’t even acknowledge the resource disparity between MLB teams, the inadequate job that baseball does in addressing it, and the effect that disparity has on the viable strategies of teams in different size markets as well as on the local fans’ experience of the sport. You can write your paeans to the wealth of large cities if you want, just don’t expect those of us who identify as being from somewhere else to be persuaded by them.
