There Are Two Ninja Turtles Behind Home Plate At Yankee Stadium Thanks To John Oliver

The best seats in the house at Yankee Stadium this afternoon belong to a pair of dudes wearing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles costumes. And we all have

To needle the Yankees over their new ticketing policies, designed to spare rich season-ticket holders from the ignominy of sitting next to “someone who has never sat in a premium location” before, Oliver offered 25-cent tickets to anyone willing to dress in a way to discomfit the Yankees. These two gentlemen are the first winners.

The ESPN camera appears to be titled unusually low, maybe to keep the turtles as out-of-frame as possible. But their seats are too good to crop them out completely. As for their sectionmates? The Yankees need not have worried; most of the premium seats are empty.

There will be more contest-winners in those seats for Wednesday’s and Thursday’s games. Can’t wait.
