On this day in 2006 The
Yankees played an exhibition game at Legends Field in Tampa and had to post a
sign outside the stadium apologizing to the fans. The sign apologized because
the Yankees were without Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Johnny Damon, and Bernie
Williams due to the World Baseball Classic.
Also on this day in 1913 the
New York Yankees became the first team to train outside the Unites States when
they started their spring training in Bermuda. The team's island ballpark in
Hamilton is a converted cricket field. The Yankees would tune up for the
regular season by playing a local New Jersey team, the Skeeters.
