George most definitely would've been afraid of the luxury tax...

By the way, George is the main reason why they didn't win any World Championships in the 1980's because he kept mortgaging the future for over the hill talent.

Thank God for his two year suspension in the early 90's because if he never was suspended. Jeter, Posada, Pettitte, Bernie and Mo all would've been traded away for thirty-something year old players.
