Baseball’s Savior

Randy Levine and Brian Cashman are going to lead a delegation to Beijing, China next week.  The ultimate goal is to eventually open a baseball academy in the Asian country, which the team hopes will bring a wealth of talent.  China didn’t last very long in the World Baseball Classic but in 2008, Beijing will be hosting the summer Olympics, the last Olympics that will have baseball as a sport.

Tokyo and Okinawa are also stops that the Yankees front office is going to make.  It if it means more good players in Yankee pinstripes, I’m all for it.
