Damn, Yankees

Just to take a short break from Israel related postings....

For all of you New Yorkers (or ex-New Yorkers) who are Yankees fans. Early this morning, the Yanks signed former Boston Red Sox Center Fielder Johnny Damon to a 4 year $52 million contract. Adding Damon to the already formidable Yankee lineup might help keep the Yanks in the mix next season.

The starting lineup roster as it currently stands:
1. Damon CF
2. Jeter SS
3. A-Rod 3B
4. Sheffield RF
5. Giambi 1B
6. Matsui LF
7. Williams DH
8. Posada C
9. Cano 2B

The Red Sox made a big mistake letting this one go and if they end up trading Manny, they are really lost.

I apologize to all my non-baseball fan readers, but this is big news in the only sport I have followed since comng to Israel 15 years ago.

Most Israelis don't get (understand) baseball and you can imagine what kinda reactions I got from fellow cops whenever I would mention baseball.

Go Yanks and good luck with the haircut, Johnny :)

Thanks for reading....
