I'm going to get in trouble here, but I think George is the best owner in baseball. I'd prefer a bit more stability, but his desire to put the best possible product on the field can't be challenged. It is my understanding that Glass, the largest single stockholder in Walmart, has a much greater personal fortune than Steinbrenner. He is just unwilling to dip into it to enhance the value of his franchise. George bought the Yanks when they were almost worthless but he committed himself to rebuilding the brand name. Glass prefers whining about market size and collecting payments (which never seem to make it into payroll) from the more successful franchises, to fielding a serious contender. IMHO. Thats the party line and I'm sticking with it. duck and cover
