Winter Carnival in Scranton

I point to this story for two reasons that will become apparent as you read. I only wish that the writer had identified him or herself.

Yanks hosting free Winter Carnival

MOOSIC, Pa. -- Saturday, is going to be a special day at Lackawanna County Stadium. The weather may be chilly, but signs of baseball will warm the hearts of many.

The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees are kicking off the 2007 season with their inaugural Winter Carnival from 11 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The event is open to the general public free of charge.

I didn't see if Dunder-Mifflin was a corporate partner for this event.

We have been "Yankee-izing" Lackawanna County Stadium since the big announcement that we're the Triple-A affiliate of the Yankees. And we are ready to show you some of the changes. Fans will be allowed to go behind the scenes to see the brand new locker room, field conversion and construction of our new Bullpen Field Boxes.

Has there ever been a more evil made up word than "Yankee-izing"? If there is, I can't think of it.
