Let's start taking cues from the fucking NFL, shall we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch-MaesterPhilip Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 Oh FFS. That's great. Let's start taking cues from the fucking NFL, shall we?It's about damn time as far as this goes. I'm there if the Yankees are involved, shit I might go even if they're not.

Well yeah, I would love to go to London, but to watch baseball? Not so much. If I were to take a baseball vacation I'd want to hit like Wrigley and Camden Yards and the like. I don't really get the transatlantic scheduling thing in professional sports. It just seems like it would be a huge disadvantage for the teams that have to make the trip.

It just seems like it would be a huge disadvantage for the teams that have to make the trip.I've been there twice and think it's a fantastic city so any reason for me to go back is a damn good one. For baseball it would have to be in July so if it were the final series before the All-Star break for both teams involved they would get a long break after it is all said and done. And if it is two east coast teams which I suspect it will be the travel won't be terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. X Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I love London, but if I'm traveling there for sport it would be for something local like football (i.e. soccer), cricket, or rugby.Baseball travel for me would involve seeing more games at the various parks around the US. I've been to 8 major league stadiums so far (the Vet, Citizen's Bank, Fenway, Wrigley, (the old) Yankee Stadium, Shea Stadium, Citi Field, and Camden Yards), so there's still plenty to see on this continent.

Arch-MaesterPhilip Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 I saw a couple football matches when I was there but cricket wasn't in season. I've been to Camden Yards and Miller Park besides the ballparks in New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only have another 10 years for Buck Bokai to break DiMaggio's record and we don't even have a London Kings franchise yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myshkin Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Zimmermann to the Tigers for 5yrs/$110 mil. Seems about right on aav, but I was expecting more years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
