Great story I just saw on ESPN.com. My favorite part is the last line - so true.
LOWELL, Mass. -- A minor league baseball team in Massachusetts has launched a campaign to eliminate the Yankees.
Well, at least in youth baseball leagues across New England.
The Lowell Spinners say if Little League and other youth leagues agree to change the name of their Yankees teams to the Spinners, they'll pay for the new uniforms.
The Spinners are a Class A affiliate of the Red Sox, archrival of the Yankees.
Spinners' general manager Tim Bawmann says children in New England are often devastated when they are assigned to be on a team called the Yankees.
