Thu, 24 Jul 2008 18:28:00 +1900

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the infamous George Brett pine tar incident at Yankee Stadium. On July 24th, 1983, Brett launched a two-run, two-out homer in the top of the 9th to give the Royals a 5-4 lead over New York. Before Brett even finished rounding the bases, the easily irritated Yankee manager Billy Martin was out complaining to home plate umpire Tim McClelland. ...

Waving to Fans During a Play Is a Bad Idea

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 00:31:00 +1900

As we more than learned during our time in NYC for the All-Star festivities, the Bleacher Creatures (I apologize for at the time calling them “Bleacher Bums") have quite a strong influence in Yankee Stadium . So much so, that center fielder Melky Cabrera felt the need to acknowledge their "roll call" in the middle of a play last night ... while a ball was coming at ...

Note to Melky - Field the ball first, THEN acknowledge the Bleacher Creatures

Embarrassing moment for Melky Cabrera to start off the game tonight. Check out the video below: For those of you who don't know, the "Bleacher Creatures" chant the name of every Yankee at the beginning of each game at Yankee Stadium. Typically, if there is a play going on, the player will take care of business, and then tip his cap to the fans. Not the case with Melky Cabrera, obviously. ...

New York Yankees: It's Just Melky Being Manny, I Suppose

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:22:36 +1900

I'm just glad that George Steinbrenner didn't live to see this. Apparently there's a tradition at Yankee Stadium where a group of fans called the Bleacher Creatures chant out each player's name in the first inning. The player usually acknowledges this; but not during a play. Oh, Melky Cabrera . You crazy nut. Wizard Cat gives this play: 0 wands. In case no one's noticed, the Yankees are the ...

by GMoney , The Money Shot For some insane reason, Yankee Stadium has a ban on bringing sunblock into the park. Well, proud fair-skinned baseball fans, that has officially changed... kind of . Yankee fans are seeing - and turning - red over a ban on sunscreen, which Stadium security guards say was widely expanded in the last few weeks.

There is one day each season that I can forgive Yankee fans for being ultra-nostalgic. That day is "Old-Timer's Day" at the Stadium, and it is a little over a week away. To keep with the underlying theme of this blog, let me list the 1990's Yankee "heroes" that the Yankee fans in attendance will surely be screaming their heads off for: Wade Boggs - That horse ride was a Yankee moment for the ...

Brian Giles is a Real Housewife of San Diego County

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 11:00:00 +1900

Padres veteran outfielder Brian Giles really enjoys playing in sunny San Diego. The 37-year-old Southern California native loves to tan, and back when he played in Pittsburgh, Giles spent more time in a tanning bed than A-Rod spends in Madonna's bed (TOPICAL REFERENCE! ZING!). Anyway, Giles hurt his thigh last month when slamming into the wall at Yankee Stadium and came away with a nasty, ...
