Today, Major League Baseball will play a regular season game in Europe for the first time ever when the Yankees take on the Red Sox at London Stadium. The game starts at 12:10 CST. According to the Boston Globe, the concession stands will sell meat pies, Scotch eggs, and sausage rolls. Fans will be entertained by a between innings race around the warning track featuring mascot versions of Winston Churchill, Freddie Mercury, Henry VIII, and the Loch Ness Monster. A good time will be had by all.
The people in charge of this game missed a cracking opportunity to honor one of the best English players in the history of baseball.
