The season’s best Yankees moment

As I mentioned when it happened, the sound of an entire stadium loudly booing Robinson Cano was sweet music. We can’t do anything about big money hegemony – either in baseball or anywhere else – even though it spoils everything it touches. But at least for that one brief, shining moment we got to stand on the national stage and say “hey, that abuse of power you feast on every year? We notice it. We don’t like it. You may manage self satisfaction, but not everyone is impressed.”

Only such a unique moment could supplant our May 7 victory as the best Yankees moment of the year. Dishing out an official ass beating to the Evil Empire was pure bliss, especially when we won because we played outstanding baseball and they didn’t.
