Watching the Yankees win their 27th World Series evoked no emotions in me whatsoever. It’s like watching the Detroit Red Wings win in hockey or the LA Lakers in Basketball.
Furthermore, it seems obvious that the only reason they managed to win this one was through a bloated payroll that is far and away the biggest in the MLB. Money inevitably buys you good players, but it also seems to leave a stain on the victory (from my perspective as a disinterested Canadian observer). Sure, NY is happy, and that’s great, they deserve some happiness, right?
I guess Hamid Karzai was happy when he bought the Afghan elections, and he deserves some happiness too but his victory is stained.
What am I trying to say? I don’t know.
