The yahoo.com 'sports' reporter had the dates of the games wrong. Crack reporting. Or reporting while on crack.

"Red Sox taking the Crystal Skye Boeing 777 to London, the most luxurious big jet in the world. Six hour trip for up to 88 people in flat first class seats with a full bar costs around $500,000."

The interior photos are awesome! Huge plane. Full bar, crystal stemware, full reclining seats morph into a bed.I always heard that the Yankees were a " first class organization". They'll need to up their game to beat this.

Strangely,in The Telegraph, coverage of rugby, dog racing, horse racing, car racing, cricket, etc but no mention at all about the upcoming baseball games.

I hate this stunt with a passion, except for one thing: I can't wait for John & Suzyn's on-air conversations about strange words and gross food.

I just got back from London for work reasons, being able to sleep lying down on the flight over is /would be PRICELESS.
This is a really really stupid idea, all around,,,,, the jet lag will screw up these kids for daze!

"John, I can't believe it, I ordered some fish the other day, and they wrapped it in a newspaper!"

"Suzyn, even at the Hebrew Home at Riverdale, you will never find peas as mushy as you will in England!"

I bet the Master buys a couple of suits on Savile Row.

...and they *still* won't fit right.

"Are kippers kosher?"

Carl J. Weitz said...

If the jet lag doesn't do them in the open bar will.

"Suzyn, The Daily Globe & Mirror: The NY Yankees official newspaper fish and chips wrapper."

Carl J. Weitz said...

"Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, mummy dear
They got to have 'em in Texas
'Cause everyone's a millionaire"

"Knees up, Giancarlo!
Knees up, Giancarlo!
Knees up, knees up—"

Oh, wait, something's gone terribly wrong! Yes, that's right, Giancarlo, just ease that knee back down there, that's it. No, don't force it! All right, hang on, the National Health is on the way...
