I wasn't born yet but of course I have seen it on highlights. I always liked home grown players more like Mattingly, Jeter, Pettitte, Rivera, and even guys now like Judge and Volpe.
I do like home grown players, but I also like getting stars who win a World Series for you from another team (such as Mookie Betts from the Red Sox for the 2020 World Series).
Every team wants that, a great talent that comes from their own farm system. Most teams lose him after 6 years because they can't afford to keep him, but large payroll teams can have him for his whole career.
