The Yankees are coming! The Yankees are coming! The Yankees are coming!

By Howard B. Owens

Sports history will be made Friday when for the first time ever, a Triple A baseball franchise will play ball in Batavia.

The Yankees farm club will call Dwyer Stadium home for four days, playing the Orioles franchise out of Norfolk.

There are still a few box seats available and some general admission tickets are still on sale. For tickets, call (585) 343-5454.

Opening pitch Friday is at 7 p.m.

As a Red Sox fan, I couldn't be happier about having the Yankees AAA team playing in Batavia. The Yankee/ red sox rivalry is the best rivalry in sports. Here is hoping that lots of out of town dollars get spent in our city by visiting Yankee fans.

I am also a member of the Great Red Sox Nation yet at the same time I look at it this way;
1)It's Baseball and 2)If it helps Boost Batavia than it's all good!

It was a joke folks. Perhaps in bad taste, but a joke none the less. Sorry if I offended anyone! I agree any baseball, even Yankee baseball, is better than no baseball at all!
