Yankees-Red Sox officially set for London in 2019

[nynasty]

The Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees will play an historic two-game series in London in 2019, marking the sport's first games ever played in Europe, in the MLB London Series, Major League Baseball (MLB), the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) and the Mayor of London jointly announced today.

The 2019 series will be played on June 29-30 at London Stadium, the site of the 2012 Olympic Games, which will take on a baseball configuration for the event. The estimated capacity of London Stadium for the series will be 55,000. The United Kingdom will follow other international venues that have hosted regular season Major League games, joining Mexico, Japan, Puerto Rico and Australia. The parties have agreed to a two-year deal that will include another series in London in 2020, with participating teams to be announced, and other initiatives that will aim to establish a footprint in the city.



Stupid, but at least it costs Boston 2 home games.

Typical. Instead of giving each team one home game, MLB intent on screwing the Sox over. Hope the Yankee plane gets hijacked.

That's been my experience whenever I've been over there. They scoff at adults playing "rounders"

LOL

I gotta think the Yankees said they would do it, but only if they didn't lose any of their 81. Henry's got a big stake over there with his soccer team, so he gave in apparently.

[nynasty]

Huh. Zero recollection

 

[Cyder]

Complete stupidity. And then both teams get to deal with Jet lag when they get back. It's one thing to ship everything to the west coast as part of a road trip but 2 games? This sucks.

 

[Rock Strongo]

Huh. Zero recollection

i remember it was a big deal because of the bad start someone got off to, cant recall...and they blamed it on that trip.

The Yanks opened in Japan one year. I think it was 2003 or 2004.

It was the year I would like to forget forever, if that's a hint.

That's probably why I can't remember, I blocked it out

As long as David Price is safe and sound and remains on the Red Sox.....I'm good......

 

[Pure Steel]

And no Ellsbury responses, we will hand him over as a hostage and with no negotiations in sight......
