Another Reason To Hate The Yankees (or Steinbrenner, at least)
It is pretty fashionable in the world of baseball to Hate The New York Yankees. Let me say that I do not Hate The New York Yankees. Instead, I offer them my begrudging respect - hell, they win an awful lot of ballgames. Who wouldn't enjoy rooting for that kind of juggernaut?
That said, the Yankees are pissing off baseball purists these days. No, I'm not talking about (a) picking up the league's most expensive player or (b) starting their second-best shortstop and moving their best shortstop to third base. This is much bigger. They no longer sell the venerable baseball snack Cracker Jack at Yankee Stadium, having replaced it with upstart Crunch 'n Munch.
Do you think they'll be singing "Buy me some peanuts and Crunch 'n Munch" during the seventh inning stretch? The horror...

Next thing you know, they'll be selling out to Hollywood and trying to put movie logos on the bases...
