New York “Bankees”
Oct 23rd
A couple years ago my ten-year-old grandson, Luke, said he heard that the New York Yankees were the best team in baseball.
I responded, “They are the best team money can buy.”
He answered, “They should not be called the New York Yankees. They
should be called the New York Bankees.”
I believe his label still fits.
