... EVER VIGILANT: The New York Post reports the Yankees have been confiscating sun screen from fans entering Yankee Stadium, "a move team officials said was to protect the Stadium from terrorism." (They would, however, sell you their own brand of sun screen at $5 an ounce.) But after complaints from furious -- and sun-burned -- patrons, not to mention health officials, the Yanks relented and said they would now allow three-ounce containers into the park. ...
Yanks Embarrassed By Post, Change Sunscreen Ban
Published 7/22/2008 by Steve Lombardi at WasWatching.com
Via the Post with a hat tip to BBTF -
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.
Security guards collected garbage bags full of sunblock at the entrances to Yankee Stadium over the sweltering weekend, when temps hit 96 degrees and the UV index reached a skin-scorching 9 out of 10 - a move team officials said was to protect the Stadium from terrorism.
The team contends that sunscreen has long been on the list ...
Sunny daze at Yankee Stadium
Published 7/22/2008 by TheHotRead at SmackCaster SmackBlog
... The opposition isn’t the only one to get burned in the Bronx lately. As The New Post aptly writes, The Bronx is Sunburning. Don’t bring a big, ol’ sunblock to The House That Ruth Built or they will confiscate it. After the fuss was made, they will now allow three-ounce containers. The Post report adds, "The Stadium does sell 1-ounce bottles of Arizona Sun SPF 15 for $5 - a huge markup that makes its beer seem cheap." Understand taking caps away from bottles so they don’t become missiles but hardly see anyone ...

... the bowling alley and pay five bucks for them to watch your bag while you go to the game. They have the unmitigated balls to justify this as threats to Homeland Security that goes also with their phony patriotism by playing God Bless America during the 7th inning at every single home game. Well, just when you think the Bronx Bastards have managed to cover every facet of douchebagery they come up with something so outrageous that it’s hard to believe. The storm troopers at the gates of Highlander Stadium will now confiscate sun block (yes you read that right SUN BLOCK) that fans ...

... get expanded. Besides some minor league talent, that date could also see the return of Hughes and/or Wang, maybe Kennedy. Hopefully some depth will be infused then.
Speaking of, isn’t it strange how MLB plays with 25 for most of the season then expands in September? It’d be like the NBA expanding its roster to 20 players per team for the last 15 games of the season.
Did you read or hear about the Yanks’ ridiculous sunscreen ban? You can read about it here.
And in the last pregame thought….Some of us have been decrying the aging ...
Yankees: Anti-terror or anti-fan?
Published 7/23/2008 by Ron Vallo at Tribe Report
... I’ll let you decide, but let’s just say I hope none of the Tribe’s sales and marketing types see this. It seems this past weekend at Yankee Stadium - with the temperature at 95 degrees and the sun beating down unmercifully - security guards greeted fans at the gates by taking away their sun block. That’s according to a story in today’s New York Post . According to the tabloid, Yankee officials say the move was part of the stadium security crew’s anti-terrorism efforts. But fans - as you might guess - were a bit frosted (well not frosted, but you now what I m ean.)“I was really ...

The Yankee Stadium Experience Builds Character

... A lot of has been made of a news item that ran in the New York Post a few days ago. To refresh your memory:
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.
Those fans are probably the same people who complain about not being able to bring non-clear plastic bags into the stadium. They probably bitch about having to pay to check their unsafe bags at the bowling alley across the street. And they probably also complain about the full-body cavity search they ...

... Red Sox at Fenway last weekend and otherwise staying within striking distance in the AL East. No it's the organization that is benched for their draconian rules about bringing anything into Yankee Stadium. Aside from making everyone check bags over at that depressing and money-grubbing bowling alley across the street at gun-to-your-head fees (after all, what else are you going to do with your bag/briefcase), the folks at the stadium have apparently also sided with cancer: They were recently banning people from bringing sunscreen into the stadium, even during day-games.
