09.19.08 WHAT A GREAT SOUVENIR
This Yankee fan chipped off a piece of the foul pole to take home with him, even though the imminent destruction of New York’s baseball stadia has led the Mets and Yankees to promise prosecution for any souvenir-hunting thieves.
Already this year, fans have been found stealing outfield bunting, Shea Stadium seats, even a Yankee Stadium toilet seat – an indication of possible trouble ahead…
The Yankees kick off their final home stand Friday, a 10-game stretch that ends with the final regular season game in the House That Ruth Built on Sept. 21, against the Orioles. They, [along with the Mets], plan a zero tolerance approach against thieves.
Whatever, I say take whatever you want. Make it like the Berlin Wall. Let the people tear it down. It’s basically the same thing, except instead of dividing communist territory from democratic, Yankee Stadium was a barrier that kept the douchebags separated from the rest of the populace.

WHAT A GREAT SOUVENIR
I’m crossing my fingers in hope that there’s enough lead paint in that foul pole scab to take down his whole family. Is that wrong (he asked rhetorically, assuming it is)?
If they are going to treat it like the Berlin Wall, David Hasselhoff is contractually obligated to perform.
Actually, what a douchetastic way to send off the stadium.
Uh oh, Jimmy Carter and his sliver of yellow paint could be in trouble here.
that fucker will probably get at least $25 for that paint chip from some sucker on eBay.
@WDYA, /fingers crossed for lead poisoning
Oh, sure, now he’s just a little boy stealing little toys. But some day, he’ll be a grown man stealing stadiums and quarries.
That dude looks like Bill Mauher… just with a little extra dandruff.

You should see his scab collection.
Yet bases are left alone.
Reminds me when the erudite and cultured Browns fans trashed the old place when soon-to-be-Superbowl-Champ-Ravens bolted town.
What the hell is Bob Ryan doing?
@ UU: is the paint chip shaped like jeter?
I can’t wait until the fans start removing souvenir asbestos.
Back off, I got dibs on the locker room urinal cakes
I got dibs on Brett Gardner. He’ll fit quite nicely in my mayonaise jar with a few blades of grass.
