Via the blog Walkoff Walk , here's a YouTube clip showing two cops using force to subdue a fan they were in the process of ejecting, and while we don't know the context of what precipitated the incident, it's as distressing to see the excesses of the NYPD encroach on the ballpark as it is to read about them. Seriously, what the fuck? From beyond the grave, here's some much-needed ...

Unsurprisingly, neither his return nor a sweep of the Orioles are enough to save the Yankees' season, as they drop the first two games of a key series with the Red Sox.
