You know how Yankee Stadium sings “God Bless America” during the 7th inning of every game? Did you know that as a fan, you are not allowed any stadium movement of any kind? Apparently a 29-year-old man from Queens did not.

Bradford Campeau-Laurion decided that during the patriotic song he needed to go to the bathroom. He was quickly stopped by an NYPD police officer, and told he had to go back to his seat. “I then said to him, ‘I don’t care about God Bless America. I just need to use the bathroom. As soon as I said that, he immediately pinned my arm behind my back.”

Laurion was ejected from the stadium and told to “leave the country” if he didn’t like it. The NYPD have since issued the following statement about what happened…

“The officers observed a male standing on his seat, cursing, using inappropriate language and acting in a disorderly manner while reeking of alcohol, and decided to eject him rather than subject others to his offensive behavior.

A fellow Yankee Stadium season ticket holder who witnessed the event called the allegation “ridiculous. Completely false.”

Lorion is considering taking legal action.

At 8 PM EST major league baseball’s annual Home Run Derby will take place at Yankee Stadium. This year’s field is made up of Lance Berkman, Ryan Braun, Grady Sizemore, Chase Utley, Josh Hamilton, Justin Morneau, Dan Uggla and Evan Longoria.

I’m gonna go with Lance Berkman from the NL to win it, with Josh Hamilton of the AL coming in second. Unfortunately, and rather ironically, there are no Yankees participating, no thanks to A-Rod. Check out Jayson Stark’s thoughts on that situation .

On Saturday, July 12th, Bon Jovi is going to burn, burn, burn in New York City, for free. It’s supposed to serve as a prelude to the MLB All Star game on July 15th; the final All Star game at Yankee Stadium ever. That pretty much sums it up. I don’t know who would still be into going to watch Bon Jovi, but I guess if it’s free and in a setting as beautiful as Olmsted’s Central Park, you can’t really go wrong. All you New Yorkers: Enjoy Bon Jovi for free; we’ll just keep huffing wildfire smoke and drinking heavily at all times to stifle this hellish void.

In an effort to invoke some sort of curse, or the very least procure some seriously bad juju, Bronx-native and Boston Red Sox super fan Gino Castignoli buried a David Ortiz Red Sox jersey in the concrete at the nearly finished new Yankee Stadium. The jersey was unearthed yesterday by Yankees officials.

Normally, I’d be able to write this off as some goofy prank by a harmless sports fanatic, but the way ESPN and Sportscenter covered this unfolding melodrama, you would have thought New York had been hit with another terrorist attack. Men with hard hats tramped around with concerned, furrowed brows. Jack hammers spit dust into the air, everyone seemed worried. Not to mention FUCKING PISSED.

Castignoli, 46, said he became a Red Sox fan during his childhood in 1975 when he idolized slugger Jim Rice.

As construction began for the new Yankee Stadium, Castignoli said his union got after him to work on the project. The Red Sox fan was reluctant.

“I would not go near Yankee Stadium, not for all the hot dogs in the world,” he told the Herald.

But he relented, and hatched the plan to plant the jersey. He said he worked just a single day at the stadium project.

“It was worth it,” he said.

Futher proof that although the Yankees might have the most money to spend building an empire of Balco-boosted bombers, they also have the dumbest fans on Earth.

Go Giants: Where the fans have brains, and the bullpen sucks.
