Even before a pitch was thrown Saturday, the New York Yankees apologized to their fans.
The Yankees displayed a sign by the customer service booth on the main concourse, explaining it wasn’t their fault Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Johnny Damon and Bernie Williams had departed for the World Baseball Classic.
“Thank you for expressing your concerns,” the sign stated. “We are sorry that certain players will not be present for portions of spring training. These players have elected to participate in the World Baseball Classic. The World Baseball Classic is an event sanctioned by the commissioner of Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association.
