LONDON — Chris Ward, a resident of Oxford and native Brit, first learned of the London Series last year when the news arrived on his Major League Baseball app. So we are not talking about a baseball novice. To the contrary, Ward has attended games at the old and new Yankee Stadium, Oracle Park in San Francisco and multiple Grapefruit League facilities.
And the more Ward learned about the Yankees’ and Red Sox’s impending visit, the less he wanted to attend.
“Wow that is a lot of money,” Ward said in a telephone interview Sunday morning, as he recalled his initial thoughts.
