The Late Show with David Letterman web site as the Top Ten features of the new Yankee Stadium.
Several of our readers contributed. Good job.
I didn’t get #7 about the battery dispenser in the bleachers.
Most of the others seem pre-occupied with bathroom facilities, ARod and steroids.
I liked the one about no corporate seats in the upper deck.
I guess I just don’t have that “Letterman” sense of humor.
Battery dispenser in the outfield bleachers
Stephen P., King City, CA
Due to a recession, only has two bases
Richard V., Avondale, PA
These two were the best.
doreen- People would throw batteries on the field. I’m not sure how many times it happened.
LOL
Some of those are good

Interesting article about the facade.
I said a Madonna one would be #1. Letterman has been obsessed with her forever.
Since a rough outing on opening day, Brian Bruney has worked four perfect innings with eight strikeouts.

Thanks for the explanation. Now, I get it, and I think it’s a good one. I forgot to say I liked the two bases one, also.
“doreen- People would throw batteries on the field. I’m not sure how many times it happened.”
I thought that was only Philadelphia fans
Bruney did look great today. Losing some weight and spiffing up his hair/beard didn’t hurt.
1. Completely lacking in wit.
2. No contributions from actual New Yorkers.
Are those two related???
What else can be expected from David Lettergoof ?
Did they use any of the ones from your readers, Pete? If yes, which ones?
IMO, they all sucked…. I bet us commenters could come up with 10 better ones!
I assumed there would be at least 3 arod ones if Pete suggested that we read it.
Didn’t really care for the Top Ten…except for the two bases one. I read much funnier ones earlier in the week from some of the readers on this site.
Nice game last night …what a difference a day makes. I’ll be at Opening Day (Friday & Saturday too). Unfortunately I’m missing AJ & Pavano on Sunday …bummer. I hope we christen the new Stadium with a big win which hopefully sets the tone for the rest of the season.
Go Yankees 2009 !!!
Ross Ohlendorf got a shout out on Letterman last night. Category was “Top Ten Things to Ask Before Become a Somali Pirate” and number 4 was “Will I get along with Ross Ohlendorf? (Oh wait, that’s things to ask before I become a Pittsburgh Pirate.)”
meh. i was a little disappointed. i thought the one pete sent in (and others read in the comments here) were better…
That was a good job. Most were funny.
They all were bad
I rarely see much funny in any of his lists anyway. This didn’t change the opinion at all.
It has really gotten old and stale, just like Letterman.
#10′s the only truly funny one. Though it’s not really Yankee-specific.
They’re funny for people who hate the Yankees
.
That was absolutely horrible. Mostly non Yankee Fans. It’s all about hating us instead of looking at the Class Organization that we are. Did anyone notice that on Opening Day when the O’s were introducing the Yankees the PA system played Beck’s “I’m a Loser” You can’t get much worse than that they have no class at all. You will NEVER hear that at the Stadium.
Terrible. Whoever wrote these needs to go to Soulwow.com now.
