If the City of New York helps fund the new Yankee Stadium, can Mayor Bloomberg make a call to the Yankees and tell them to replace their 3rd baseman?

And just when will the Obama administration step in and reign in the ridiculous salaries in MLB. Private enterprise my arse. Baseball teams enjoy anti-trust protection from Congress, municipalities around the USA help fund their stadiums and provide crowd and traffic control, and the teams get to circumvent normal immigration proceedings for prospective employees from around the globe. Not to mention the income teams get from Cable TV providers who are chosen by local governments.

Baseball has been a quasi-government run side business for decades.
