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.
