  The Business of Baseball, Part 2
A small but telling sign of the times:

Recently I bought a children's book for the latest Yankee fan in the family. She's about six months old. Called "Let's Go, Yankees," it is ostensibly written by Yogi Berra, although who knows, really? There are about 100 words in the whole book. Such as:

"It was a beautiful day in New York City. Yankees fans were on their way to Yankee Stadium for a baseball game."

"The young fans walked to Yankee Stadium. They were excited to see "The House That Ruth Built."

How depressing it was to see that both "Yankee Stadium" and "The House That Ruth Built" were immediately followed by TM, the copyright symbol....
