Are crew chiefs paid extra? Or is it just a bragging kinda thingy?
Btw, it looks like the Yankees might be playing Cleveland, while the BoSox
won the right to take 5 hour flights back and forth from the Left Coast. The other plus for the Yankees is that there's just a few less distractions in Cleveland to take the player's minds off of
beisbol.
Afaik, the night life in Cleveland is restricted to (1) going to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and (2) going down to the river and watching it burn.
