In England, they will tell you baseball is merely a perversion of cricket. Of course, in England they also eat eels and kidneys, so what the fuck could they possibly know?
England is a country which once ran half the world, and have yet to figure out how central heating works. Either way, December is one of those sad months in which there is no baseball; one of those sad months where die-hard enthusiasts create the “hot stove league,” which is just an odd euphemism for a bunch of guys talking about baseball.
One the mot popular topics for the “Hot Stove League” is players who are moving on to other teams. In this case, it’s more about a guy moving to another country. Don’t even try to tell us that in his retirement, Mark Texieira isn’t going to England to be Prince William’s body double…the proverbial “Yank in future King William’s Court.”
