Wait... There isn´t baseball in Spain?

Ok, so now that I am in a completely foreign land where they don´t even LIKE (or have) baseball, I feel the need to comment on my isolation from all things Yankee.

I arrived to Spain in September, with a sadness looming over me, I had been to Yankee Stadium for the last time. I come here wanting to reminisce about the good times at the House That Ruth Built, but instead I find myself getting labeled as a typical American.

I talked to the teachers at my school about the Yankees, the Stadium and all its grandeur. They were all impressed by the size. I mean it could fit 7 times the amount of people in my town. Impressive!

However, I was not able to convince the teachers that baseball isn´t boring. They are sticking to the idea that its boring and that soccer rules all. Just wait until baseball season comes around, I will bring them over to the good side!

I must report that I took a drive by through the Bronx on my way to the airport after the Holidays. How depressing! That new stadium is just lurking while the "old" one stands strong. Most of my pictures of the new stadium are conveniently blocked by trees. I hope it stays that way!

I am excited for the new season to start, and my resistance against the new stadium is fading. Its happening and I have to deal! Lets just hope that with the New Year comes a New World Championship!

¡Vamos a ser campiones del mundo!
