Ban the Yankees from Major League Baseball !!!

To:  MLB Commissioner Bud Selig

Dear Mr. Selig,

We formally request that you commit to a program in Major League Baseball that will ban the New York Yankees from competing in the sport. We are asking that the organization be placed in a lock-down state for at least three years. Why do we ask this? Our reasons are many. One, by continually providing work and exposure to known criminals such as Darryl Strawberry they actively erode the character and integrity of the game. Two, by signing outside contracts for services and endorsements, then funneling that money into player salaries, they make it nearly impossible for so many other teams to compete. Only a very few teams can afford to spend the vast amounts of money the Yankees do each season. They knowingly and wrecklessly drive costs higher each year in several categories, resulting in a severe lack of competition in baseball. Consider these two prime reasons, and then listen to the many other complaints we list. We hope you realize that the New York Yankees are nothing but a disease to Major League Baseball since they continually strive to be bigger than the game itself. The likes of George Steinbrenner must be stopped in their tracks, and a three year suspension by your office would send a clear message. If they can't play nicely, why should they play at all? If you so desire, we would be happy to go along with a longer lock down of 4 or perhaps 5 years. An eternal banishment from the game is not out of the question. Thus, we ask that you examine and consider the many names signed below and then act quickly in tearing down the destructive Yankee machine and restoring all that was once good and decent about baseball back to the game. Thank you.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
