Damn those New Yorkers

Major League Baseball swings into action on Monday morning (our time) and Americans (and some Canadians) throughout the world are very happy chaps and chapettes indeed.

You see, the professional baseball season marks the true start of spring in North America and that, of course, is the gateway to fun as the sun gets turned up higher and higher.

And, I kid you not, there's no better way to spend a summer's day in the US than at a ballpark apart from the fact that it generally costs a second mortgage or first-born child to attend a game nowadays.
