Back in the 1800’s, Horace Greeley was credited with the saying, “Go West, young man“. Apparently, the politician/newspaper magnate never saw a Yankees’ western road swing. The Yankees would be better off listening to LL Cool J, who famously rapped, “I’m going back to Cali, yea y’all, I don’t think so“. The ladies love cool James and LL loves the Yankees.
The Yankees’ latest trip to the Golden State was especially cruel, losing six straight after winning the opener against the Angels. Anaheim – you may call yourself Los Angeles, but you are in Anaheim – has been an especially rotten 21st-century host to the Yankees.
