Baseball’s big rivalry
It was confirmed last year that MLB will play its first regular-season matches in Europe when the Red Sox and Yankees go head-to-head in London.
The 2019 MLB London Series follows in the footsteps of the NFL and NBA by playing matches in the UK capital city. In an announcement MLB revealed that the June series is part of a two-year commitment to play in London. The teams for the 2020 series are yet to be decided.
Speaking at the announcement London mayor Sadiq Khan said: “I’ve been working to get Major League Baseball to come to London since I became mayor, and I’m delighted that we have these two great teams coming to our city.”
Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner added: “This rivalry is well over a century in the making and over 2,000 games. It is a contentious rivalry, sometimes downright bitter, but that is due to the passion of our fans.”
