. . . that a rematch is in the offing of the 1932 World Series between the New York Yankees and the hapless Chicago Cubs, during which Babe Ruth (the Yank's "Sultan of Swat") thoroughly demoralized the Wrigleyville Faithless by "calling his shot." Certainly, the young brutes on the Cubs who scalped the Indians in the 2016 Fall Classic resemble this BASEBALL BUGS' "Gas House Gorillas" Ball Bashers. But the Gorillas' (Cubs') opponent here--the "Trumpet Town Teetotallers"--feature an all-geezer line-up. In order to ape the Tease, the one-time Bronx Bombers will have to age in a hurry. And the Yanks simply lack enough Old Hands in their Farm System to get this job done. Where should they turn? From Whence could they seek succor? If you limit this to Dorothy's Choices--"Lions, Tigers, or Bears"--the pick is obvious: give the Tigers a try (seeing as how Lions and Bears play mostly on Sundays, anyway). Fortunately for the Yanks, Big Al of the Tigers has announced a "Fire Sale" to cut payroll by 85% or so. Justin Verlander, Miguel Cabrera, Victor Martinez, and Ian Kinsler all are in their 90s in baseball years, which has historically been defined as "Yankee Prime Time." None of this quartet are likely to object to trading in Tiger stripes for Yankee pinstripes. Just remember when this deal is announced, you heard it first from BASEBALL BUGS!
