The Boss Wants His Boys At Spring Training

George Steinbrenner began spring training in classic Boss style, saying he was disappointed some of his New York Yankees stars will be leaving camp for the first World Baseball Classic. This week pitcher & catchers report to training camp, with other position players reporting next week.

The WBC runs from March 3-20, and Steinbrenner has four big named Yankees playing hooky to be there. Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and Johnny Damon are on the U.S. roster, and Bernie Williams is on Puerto Rico's preliminary roster.
