MLS Team Considers New Stadium Next To The Yankees
NYCFC, owned by Manchester City and the Yankees, will join MLS in 2015. But they don't have a stadium just yet. Until one is built, they're expected to play in Yankee Stadium. But it seems like there's a good chance that when NYCFC gets a home of its own, they won't have far to travel....

Cal Ripken's Final Game At Yankee Stadium
The fifth home game at Yankee Stadium after 9.11 was Cal Ripken Day. Here's my scorecard. The game ended in a 1-1 tie, called due to rain. It was a cold, miserable day. I remember seeing cops on the roof of the Stadium behind the lights. They looked like prison guards....

Brawling And Boozing With The Rats Of Yankee Stadium
Lasting Yankee Stadium Memories, edited by yours truly, is out in paperback now. To celebrate, here's an essay from the late George Kimball. It's about Yankee Stadium II, Billy Martin, finks and phonies, brawling, and, of course, drinking with Bill "Spaceman" Lee....

Two Of The Yankees' Four "Import Beers" Are Not Imported
Yankee Stadium tries to be classy, and fails miserably. Again....

Yankee Stadium Has Renamed Its Craft Beer Stand That Doesn't Have Any Craft Beer
We groused, circa opening day, about the Yankees' "Craft Beer Destination" that has no craft beers—everything there is MillerCoors—and only two actual beers. Guess what? Deadspin gets results....

Everything Sold At The Yankees' New "Craft Beer" Stand Is Owned By MillerCoors, And Half Of Them Aren't Actually Beers
I do not say this lightly: beer snobs might be the worst people in the world. But not even they deserve to be locked in Yankee Stadium for four hours, with the only unconventional option being this dinky and confused beer stand with four drinks on tap, all behemoth-brewed by the MillerCoors conglome...

Yankee Stadium Caught Opening Day Fever, And Died
Some day a real rain will come and wash all the scum off the seats....

Yankee Fans Are Really Harshing Nick Swisher's Buzz, Bro
It was not a good weekend for the Yankees. Not only did they drop two games at home against the Tigers, they also lost Derek Jeter for the rest of the postseason and received minimal support from the fans in a sparsely populated Yankee Stadium. And you know who's really sad about that last part? Ni...

A Wee Bird Terrorized One Yankee Stadium Grounds Crew Worker
You just never know when a li'l injured/scared bird will come onto a baseball field and starting flopping and flailing before (kinda) flying off, but this one made sure it first made an unfortunate example out of a Yankee Stadium worker. Oh, and don't miss the part where Michael Kay thinks, if onl...

A Red Sox Fan Pulled A Jeffrey Maier And Gave The Yankees A Home Run
We thought last week's minor kerfluffle, on Bobby Valentine's game of employment chicken, would be the last Red Sox update we'd have to do this season. No sense piling on. But the Red Sox can't seem to stop doing terrible things....

The Market For Yankees Tickets Is Worse Than We Thought
Yesterday we brought you news of a spat between the Yankees and StubHub, "the official ticket reseller of Major League Baseball." The Yankees aren't drawing, and they can't even move their own unsold tickets because they're being undercut by StubHub. (As I write this, it's five hours before first pi...

It Was "Anal Kid Time" At Yankee Stadium Tonight
Reader Tommy went to tonight's Rays-Yanks game in the Bronx tonight, and noticed the captioning board was advertising a very strange event. If you ask me, they're making baseball stadiums way too kid-friendly these days....
