When the Red Sox financed No No Nanette the Yankees obtained Babe Ruth.

“Hal operates the Yankees like a top Broadway show,” the agent said. “They charge top ticket prices and put the biggest and best stars on the stage. With that said, the show’s primary purpose is to turn a significant profit. If the Broadway show happens to win a Tony for Best Show, all the better.”

This is a perfect analogy to use when looking at Steinbrenner, who uses a small percentage of his money on players while pocketing the rest. He put some of the biggest stars on his stage to attract viewers and consumers, but it is more of a business model than a plan to win. The team always lacks significant talent at specific positions, and the team overspends on singular players instead of finding multiple guys who serve a designed purpose.
