According to a media report, a two-game series between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees in London is slowly taking shape in 2019. A date and a stadium seem already found.
The Associated Press reports that the series is about to be announced next season. The two games are to take place in the Olympic Stadium, which offers more space for a baseball field than comparable arenas in the British capital due to its careers. The date is set to 29. and 30. I’ve been looking into June. It would be the first MLB Regular Season games ever in Europe.
“I’ve never been to London,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said on AP demand: “So if that’s true, maybe I’ll go to London. “Whenever you can grow our game, it’s pretty cool.”
The Red Sox will, however, have the option of declaring both of these matches home, making them appear in their home jerseys, but also two games less in Fenway Park at home.
“The two clubs have been discussing this with the MLB for years. And hopefully it will soon become reality,” explained Red Sox owner John Henry via e-mail to AP.
The idea behind the end of June is that the Premier League – West Ham United will also play its home games in the stadium – will be over by then and the stadium will not yet have to be made available for athletics competitions.
