No Spellcheck In Tampa

George Steinbrenner is no fan of the World Baseball Classic. A sign at the Yankees' spring training facility yesterday read (with one hilarious misspelling):
World Baseball Classic

Thank you for expressing your concerns. We are sorry that certain players will not be present for portions of Spring Training. These players have elected to participate in The World Baseball Classic. The World Baseball Classic is an event sanctioned by The Commissioner of Major League Baseball and The Major League Baseball Players Association. The New York Yankess did not vote to support this event.

Any comments you have regarding the World Baseball Classic should be directed to either The Commissioner of Major League Baseball or The Major League Baseball Players Assoc.


Asked whether he had anything to do with the subsequent removal of the sign, Bud Selig said, "It didn't come down by itself."

I think it's summed up best by Jack: classless act from a supposed classy team.

I'll add low-brow and insulting to the fans' intelligence (without even considering the spelling error). If the Red Sox had put up such a sign, I'd be pissed.
