Enough said.

Welcome back, even though you had opted out.
Welcome back.  Not to you Boras ’cause you’ve been left out.
Who’s in charge has all changed since you’ve hung around.
Hank and Hal are in charge of the turn-around.
Despite what your career shows, (Another MVP glows.)
We know that you’ve had your woes. (No more playoff no-shows!)
Yeah we tease him [...]

Nice song parody, but I couldn’t help picturing A-Rod in a Gabe Kaplan model Afro. 
P.S. because of the minor league first base coach who was killed by a batted ball last year, 1B and 3B coaches will have to wear head protection this year. MLB has not decided if it will be a batting helmet [...]

Welcome back, your dreams were your ticket out.
Welcome back to that same old place that you laughed about.
Well the names have all changed since you hung around,
But those dreams have remained and they’re turned around.
 
Who’d have thought they’d lead ya  (Who’d have thought they’d lead ya)
Back here where we need ya  (Here where we need [...]

if you break down Bonds’s seven MVP awards as pre-roids (OK) and post-roids (I don’t accept those) I figure he and A-Rod are probably tied for MVP awards. Just an approximation.
Forgetting post-season series performance for a second, A-Rod had a Ruthian year. Disregarding that his salary negotiations are having Seinfeld overtones, there are a lot [...]

On your 3rd MVP award – 26 out of 28 first place votes.  Two stats I find interesting:  1( A-Rod gets a $1.5M incentive bonus for winning the award and 2) This is the 20th Yankee to win the award.

That’s the old Thomas Jefferson quote that President Reagan used – brilliant because Jefferson was the first Democrat! 
Anyway, Sports Illustrated had a great article some time ago about big cities (like NY, Cleveland, San Francisco) enacting very progressive income tax rates to capture revenue from MLB players making huge amounts of income while in their [...]

Jeter will probably have to pay taxes on his Yankee income for the reasons John stated.  He may already be paying NY taxes on that income.  What NY State wants though is tax revenue on the endorsement income, which is more than his Yankee salary.  That’s the income that Jeter claims does not originate in [...]

Once again, Derek is lucky in life. His New York State tax story problem will be almost totally buried by the Bonds indictment. The New York Dept of Taxation is very aggressive in this area, and they have a lot of Florida snowbird scalps on the wall to prove it. Derek pays big $ in [...]

Lowell is clearly trying to cash in on his last opportunity.  I heard that there is no way the Red Sox are going to a fourth year, guaranteed.  So, it looks like Lowell may be a Yankee because I believe Lowell holds no loyalty there.
As far as putting him at first, it temporarily solves that [...]
