Quote of the week: Randy Levine

“Don Garber discussing Yankee attendance must be a joke. We draw more people in a year than his entire league does in a year. If he ever gets Major League Soccer into the same time zone as the Yankees, we might take him seriously. Hey Don, worry about Beckham, not the Yankees. Even he wants out of your league.”–New York Yankees president Randy Levine, responding to comments by Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber earlier in the week. Garber’s crime? A thinly-veiled critique of Yankee Stadium ticket pricing. “It’s incomprehensible that you watch a game, and there will be front-row seats empty,” Garber said.
Garber’s comments clearly struck a chord, for whatever reason. ASN of course has its own views on the subject…
