Yes, that's WHY they're breaking records. But you missed the point. A Yankee player breaking a Yankee team record is big news in the eyes of ESPN, Fox, CBS, CNN, etc. No other club gets that coverage. Why? because they're not the Yankees. There was a media swarm around Jeter breaking Gehrig's hit record. The news coverage was bigger than Beuhrle's perfect game. How much coverage was there for Ichiro's 9th straight 200th hit season (a MLB record). Plenty of other clubs had club records broken... But the news coverage just wasn't there, because they're not the Yankees.(I'll agree it's not fair/just... but that doesn't change the fact that it happens)

But their not the team they use to be. It's big news ONLY to the Yankees fans. NY fans are getting restless and want another SB trophy.

SB trophy? I'm assuming WS trophy, or I just don't recognize the initials.

I'll grant you that NY fans are restless. That happens every year NY doesn't win a WS. The fans are certainly spoiled after 26 WS Victories...

But, if it's only big news to Yankee fans, why was the news a headline story coast to coast instead of just local news?

Yes I meant WS. It got a mention or two hear but no overkill in this part of the country.

Hmmm... I thought ESPN was nationwide. I'm in the Twin Cities, MN and it was everywhere. Local news picked it up, and ESPN led with it.

Anyway... your points are well taken, and certainly well thought out.

Thanks!

Daily Horoscope for January 4

Cancer

You may not be privy to every little thing that's going on around you, but so what? Crabs can't always be in control, but you don't need to feel insecure, either. Thanks to your electronic devices, you appear to be a little godlike to those who don't have the same access as you do at the moment. Just make sure that you memorise the important stuff in case the system goes down.
