Happy New Year, and expect announcement real soon of details concerning the New York Yankees-Tampa Bay Devil Rays American League openers at Tokyo Dome on March 30-31. You know, who will be the sponsor? How much will the ticket prices be? Stuff like that.
I've already gotten four e-mails asking various questions about the tour, including one from a couple of female Yankees fans in Bridgeport, Conn., who already have their airline tickets for the round-trip from Kennedy to Narita and back but are worried about getting seats to the game.
I wonder if the girls realize their Dome entrance tickets may cost more than their hotel rooms and, for the four games including exhibitions pitting the Yanks and Hideki Matsui against the Yomiuri Giants and Hanshin Tigers, maybe more than their airfare.
