OPEN LETTER TO RANDY JOHNSON

External Since: Jul 16, 2004 Posts: 3

Dead Mr. Randy Johnson,
You are a coward. You DEMAND to go to the New York Yankees because that is
the easiest route to the world series. You say you have nothing to prove,
and your right, you are already wearing a ring and are goinbg to the HOF.

So if you have nothing to prove why do you need to go to The Yankees just
for another ring? If I was in your position I would want to go to a team
with a chance but an under dog. Just think if you brought a team like the
Twin or Red Sox to the world series, I should throw the cubs in there as
well. You would be remember as a man who went to a struggling team and
single handedly picked the team up and carried them to a championship.

You, just like A-Rod dont realize that even if you win with The Yankees, ITS
NO BIG DEAL. This years Yankees team will be remembered as a bunch of
all-stars that were stacked on a single roster and walked away with a
championship. If A-Rod won in Texas, he would forever be remembered as a
true champion. Now, when he puts on that NYY world series ring, he is just
doing what everyone expected a $180 million dollar All-Star team to do.

Go to NY, get your ring. It will mean absolutely NOTHING.

Say, you're not a bitter Red Sox fan, are you?

As much as I'd personally detest seeing Randy in Yankee pinstripes, and as
completely bereft of desirable talent as the Yankees' farm system is
reputed to be, and even though I'd much prefer he be dealt to a team like
the Red Sox or the Angels, I have to face facts: Randy's *earned* the
right to decide where he plays next. He badly wants to win another World
Series ring. If he thinks the Yankees are the best team to get him one,
that's his prerogative. I don't necessarily agree, but that's just me.
