I can remember when that quote ended in "rooting for US Steel". Then it was "rooting for Ma Bell". Then it was "rooting for IBM". Now it's Microsoft.

My point? Plus ca change, but the Yankees just keep moving along. Are they a monopoly? No, but keep in mind that Congress did give MLB an anti-trust exemption, so in effect ALL baseball teams are monopolies.
