MLB should have learned its lesson from its ill-fated expansion into Florida - 12,000 people came to the Ray's stadium to watch the team's last game of the season.And most people who bother to even go to the stadium are Yankee/Red Sox fans - bandwagoners and transplants.It ain't the stadium - the popular excuse given by Buddy Boy and gang - it's the POPULATION.They either aren't interested in going to an actual baseball game, or they are replica Cartier w25064z5 watch from Up There and are fans of other teams.And I bring this up because most top free agents not only want to go to a winning team, they want to go to a winning team which gets the most possible national publicity.
Anyone think that CC Sabathia would have stayed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin even IF he had been offered more money/years than the Yankees AND their owner was the richest person in the world who would make George Steinbrenner look like a piker in the spending money department? Answer is no, because Milwaukee will never replica Cartier wj11891g watch generate any sort of national interest with the media, even if the team went to the WS 10 years in a row and yes I know all about the Wisconsin Packers (they are around Milwaukee give or take a hundred miles) but the national media deals with football very differently than it does baseball.
Lance Berkman was one of the best players in the majors for 10 years, and nobody but fantasy league players even heard of him because he almost never was mentioned in the national news media.Bagwell and Biggio are almost unknown replica Cartier we100231 watch because they played for Houston and the national media never talked about them.The last non-ex-Yankee player I can remember who got ANY sort of significant national coverage at all, besides Roy Oswalt and his bulldozer (and that was all the - ain't he a rednekk hickk - sort of coverage) was Mike Scott.
