When confetti runs out, Yankee fans toss files

Nov 7, 4:14 pm EST

NEW YORK (AP)—New York City office workers who got carried away during the Yankees victory parade Friday apparently began tossing files and documents out the window when they couldn’t get their hands on confetti.

Auditor Damian Salo attended the Manhattan parade. He tells The New York Post he found all sorts of personal financial documents in the mountains of shredded paper tossed from skyscrapers as the players rode up Broadway.

They included pay stubs, banking data, law firm memos and even some court files.

The founder of one financial firm, Alan Sarroff, says his company reprimanded one “overzealous” employee for throwing records out the window that should have been shredded.

Ticker-tape parades on Broadway are a New York tradition.

    Everyone knows money buys happiness in New York. Just another big money championship for the Bronx Bombers. Steinbrenner can not live forever but maybe some of those die-hard Yankee fans think just the opposite. Get rid of the designated hitter and play baseball the way it's supposed to be played. Go back to alternating years for home field advantage for the world series(just another baseball tradition thrown out)

    When a company owner keeps the profits of his business and everything stays the same at the company, the products, the pay, etc.... What happens to that company over time?

    When a company owner puts all the profits back into his business, better products, better pay, etc. what happens to that company over time?

    Baseball is no different then a business. You have owners who do not need the profit from there business and put it back into it. And then you have the cheap owners who suck it dry.

    Everyone seems to forget when CBS owned the Yankees and sucked the money right out of them just like the so called small market teams.

    The Yanks were in last place or near the bottom for years till the Boss bought them.

    Don't put the man, or the team, down because he puts the profits back into his business.
    He just wants them to win.

    Unlike many other owners who only care about one thing, how much profit can they bank this year!!!!!!
