The World Around Me: Center vs. Centre



I always find it charming to read stories from England or Canada because I'm sure to find a word with an unnecessary "u" by American english standards. However, when it comes to sports, the language is fairly universal. A touchdown is a touchdown, a home run is a home run and a dunk is a dunk. Or so I thought.

With Colby Rasmus' trade from the St. Louis Cardinals to the Toronto Blue Jays, Rasmus changed positions by changing countries. The former center fielder is now a "centrefielder north of the border. I'm eager to see how he handles the transition — to the language, not to the American League.
