Unlike most other sports, where there are eras of one team being dominant, then another gets their season of greatness, the Yankees have been great for generations. There have always been great players on the Yankees, who actually played like they were great. Ruth, Mantle, Jeter, Geherig, White, etc. There have also been great mangers and owners. But what happened? I would object to your premise, that the Yankees caused (sorta) the decline of American greatness. Instead, the Yankees are America. Their downfall was just the first thing. America was headed down, and the Yankees went with us. Brian,
