At least they like the beisbol en Mexico.


Why the Yanks and Sox are playing in London next month is beyond me.

Maybe they cant fill Fenway Park ... or maybe they are just stupid. I am a Tigers fan, but to see the Yanks and the Sox at Yankee Stadium or Fenway Park would be awesome. To see the same game in London, not as much. Are they gonna put names on the back of the uniforms?

Our army should be playing baseball in foreign countries only in between taking them over and sending the loot home.

I like it, it's a great way to grow the game internationally.

Monterrey, the city where the series was played, is less than two hours from Texas.

Games in Europe are stupid though.

It sucks for football. For some reason the NFL has goofy ideas about having a team there, but the travel time and jet lag would be a killer.

And Yankees games always sell out at Fenway.

I am not a fan of it either but MLB is a business and they will do anything to make a buck. Playing in Mexico makes sense but absolutely not in London.... Though I heard the Queen is a huge Red Sox fan!

That’s why there is green font. The Yankees and Red Sox are the biggest rivalry in Major League Baseball.

Haha. I know... I was being sarcastic myself. Not sure why the green font didn't show up
