Yankees 101

Where was this course when I went to college? Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida is offering "Reflections in Pinstripes: Viewing Life through the New York Yankees". Professor Ted Curtis has had no problem filling his lecture hall with students who want to learn about business, ethics, and life with the Yankees as the basis.

"I read an article about a course up in New England that was being taught called 'Red Sox Nation,' and I thought, 'There's no way I can have higher education having a course on only the Red Sox without a course on the Yankees, as well,'" Curtis said.

The lifelong Yankees fan will be discussing the poetry of Yogi Berra when the class meets next. Now that's a topic I can really get into.
