CONTRACT THE YANKEES: Doug Berman in the Boston Globe (where else?) comes up with the best idea I've heard yet to solve baseball's labor problems. Is there a single problem germane to the upcoming labor dispute that wouldn't be instantly solved by cutting the Yankees out of the equation? Although I always agreed with one of my old economics professors, who said that the solution was to saturate the New York market by putting five or six teams there. How about a division of teams from the Bronx, Queens, Westchester, Long Island, and New Jersey?
