PJQ,
Making a flat statement like "not in the same league" sounds like
a politician. What do you mean by that? The Yankees are not

Jerry,
I wouldn't know a Yankee or a Dodger, from the Prime Minister's Eleven. So
I'll take your word for them not being in the same league, and in that
case; would you compare them?
You wouldn't, that's the point - they're not in the same league - and
difficult to compare.
