LONDON -- London seems like a no-brainer for a European road trip. Paris is all but assured next. Why not throw in Germany and the Netherlands?
Major League Baseball has big plans for Europe, starting with an English reintroduction to the sport this weekend when the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs play a two-game series in London.
The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox featured in London four years ago, smashing six home runs in a European debut for MLB that was higher scoring -- the Yankees won 17-13 -- than the NFL's first one in London in 2007, when the New York Giants beat the Miami Dolphins 13-10.
