I remember being in high school and having a bunch of friends that HATED the New York Yankees. Why? Because they WON. That was the bottom line. The reason I was given was because they "bought" championships. New York had the most expensive roster in MLB for a long time; they still might have one of the biggest. But the reason they won and were as successful as they were was because they bought the best players. Seems to make sense. In a league with "no cap" the rich have the opportunity to get richer. The small market teams had to get lucky or break their backs just to keep up.
