That's what it was that Thursday afternoon in November when I arrived in Tampa, site of the Yankees Fantasy Camp.

Steinbrenner Field (where the Yanks play during spring training and also the home of the Tampa Yankees, three levels below the major leagues), to join the camp in progress. Read Article 10) Posted Nov 11 2009 Another Season Goes Into The Books By Irwin Cohen Forget the results. The 2009 World Series featured the two best teams in baseball.
