Im listening to the news and they just anounced that Manchester United football club and NewYork Yankies are joining forces for a big marketing campaign...Maybe we may see some baseball over here in the U.K...Good or bad im not sure I think there is enough American stuff on our T.V as it is...Not much USA sport though. Im gonna go Yankies(only cos I dont know any others,is Redsox another?) to win this year anyway...keep me updated as to how they get on... ------------------ Aardvark-Zyrian
Well the Yankees are a damn good team; they prove that year after year in the World Series, in fact they are the best team money can buy. Ill give you a little run down on the Yankees. Their owner, George Steinbrenner, has the largest payroll in major league baseball. The 2000 season payroll was $114,336,616, that’s a shit load of money, and its only going to be higher this year. They just signed one of their players, Derek Jeter, to a 10-year a $189 million dollar contract. That is the second Largest in sports history behind Alex Rodrigues that got a 250 million-dollar contract over 10 years, but he plays for another team. To me the salaries are getting way out of hand, nobody is that good to command over 100 million dollars to play baseball, or any other sport for that matter. Now IM not a fan of the Yankees but I watch them close every year to see what the competition is going to be for my team...IM an Atlanta Braves Fan, but I have a lot of respect for the Yankees. To answer your other question, yes the Red Sox are a baseball team, In fact ill give you a list of all the baseball teams in both leagues, not that you give a shit but im board with nothing do. American League Anaheim Angels Baltimore Orioles Boston Red Sox Cleveland Indians Chicago White Sox Detroit Tigers Kansas City Royals Minnesota Twins New York Yankees Oakland Athletics Seattle Mariners Tampa Bay Devil Rays Texas Rangers Toronto Blue Jays National League Arizona Diamondbacks Atlanta Braves Chicago Cubs Cincinnati Reds Colorado Rockies Florida Marlins Houston Astros Los Angeles Dodgers Milwaukee Brewers Montreal Expos New York Mets Philadelphia Phillies Pittsburgh Pirates San Diego Padres San Francisco Giants St. Louis Cardinals
Even though Dave Justice didn't do shit for the team besides belt the single and winning homerun to win the World series for the Braves ON MY BIRTHDAY....The braves will always be my team! ------------------ I need a drink and some Christ chexs.
