Yankee snobbery

Bad enough that Minnesota lost to the hated Yankees once again last night, ending their season humiliated by the best team money can buy. How would you like some insult to go with your injury?

Sid Hartman reports: "The Yankees sent their chief groundskeeper to the Metrodome to make sure that the infield, the mound and everything else was up to the standards of major league baseball."

The Metrodome, a stadium where two World Series have been played, dozens of postseason games, and where the Yankees have played the Twins too many times to count? The Metrodome is and always has been a major league stadium. It may not be the biggest, newest, or fanciest stadium, nor the one with the most history, but it has been home to Major League Baseball in Minnesota for as long as I've been old enough to pay attention.

I resent the fact that the Yankees would even suggest that the Metrodome was not up to snuff, never mind actually sending their own groundskeeper out to double check.

The Yankee players played well, but management clearly has neither class nor tact.
