I first saw about it in a Hardball Times tweet and the first dozen replies were all saying 'why bother' ... Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

ckn Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 NY Times article on it. “It’s a shorter trip than to California, right?” Yankees Manager Aaron Boone, who has never been to London, said on Monday. “Let’s get the royal family out there. Maybe the queen can make an appearance.” If it's at Stratford though I may make an effort and go along!

I like that the guy in the article said it would be more interesting to play in Havana. Which they did a couple of years back. And will do again. I give up with some people.

JDINTHEHIZZOUSE Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I watched the l.a dodgers v San Diego sausages or whatever they are called when I went to visit relatives in California. I Quite enjoyed it because,and I know you lot will find it hard to believe,it's very tactical,especially when it's a tight game and the last team batting need to,oh who am I kidding? It was garbage!
