      Burning Fans Revolt as Yanks Ban Sunscreen

      (Newser) - Yankee Stadium’s upper deck has been burning with resentment, the New York Post reports, over a newly expanded ban on sunscreen. Stadium security has taken to confiscating bottles of all shapes and sizes recently, a crackdown that came into focus during the weekend heat wave. “I need my sunblock,” one fan complained. “After they saw me dousing myself with it, it should have been obvious that it was sunblock and not some explosive.” More »

      Baseball's All-Miscreant Team

      (Newser) - With baseball's All-Stars set to take the field at Yankee Stadium, Radar uses the occasion (and the fact that one is the tabloids' current fixation) to name its All-Morally Inept Team: C: Paul Lo Duca, then with the Mets, got the full New York treatment in 2006, when his affair with a 19-year-old became public. Divorce ensued. 1B: Yankees star Jason Giambi copped to steroid use before a grand jury in 2003, and apologized vaguely in '07. More »

      An All-Star Ode to the 20¢ Hot Dog

      (Newser) - The hot dogs fans scarf down during tonight’s All-Star Game will be thoroughly cooked, foil-wrapped affairs. They will come from "spotless, industrial kitchens" and "will cost a small fortune." In other words, they won’t be anything like the franks New York Times contributor Doug Kriegel hawked at Ebbets Field in the '50s—but somehow, they remind him of them anyway. More »

      Yankee Fever Expected to Sell Seats—Literally

      (Newser) - Though Yankee Stadium, renovated in the 1970s, contains few long-lost relics, its current contents could nevertheless bring in $50 million when they're auctioned at season's end, New York magazine reports. From seats (figure $1,000), to urinals ($200), to trash bins ($100), everything is expected to find buyers stricken with Yankee fever. More »
