YES story missed mark

While we appreciate your coverage of the 10th anniversary of the YES Network (SportsBusiness Journal, April 30-May 6), it was puzzling to us why your reporter never bothered to call any of the principals, including the Yankees who actually created the YES Network. In sum, much of what was reported was fiction, recounted by people who were not involved. Your publication strives to provide accurate portrayals of sports business, unfortunately in this case you swung and missed.
