Jay-Z, the greatest Yankee fan alive, is suing Big Papi

Ladies and gentlemen, this is what a true Yankee fan does.

Music mogul Jay-Z has accused Red Sox slugger David Ortiz of foul play, suing the athlete for allegedly stealing his "40/40" club name.

The Brooklyn-born rapper and Yankee fan, 40, whose real name is Sean Carter, sued Ortiz on Thursday for naming a Dominican Republic nightclub Forty Forty, which Jay-Z and his business partner say is too close to their chain of 40/40 Club sports lounges, according to published reports.

My only regret is that we have no 40/40 Club sports lounge program, so we cannot sue that plagiristic, copycatting whiff-machine too. We would take the bum for everything he's worth.

In fact, I wish we had a Bloody Sock lounge, so we could take Mr. Curt "Nobody has ever called me a Yankee fan" Schilling to court, and finish the job.

I HEREBY NOMINATE JAY-Z FOR THE FIRST-EVER HONORATION OF IT IS HIGH...


YANKEE FAN OF THE MONTH.

  1. Can you put a clause in there rescinding the award if "Empire State Of Mind" ever replaces "New York, New York" as the official Yankees postgame song?

  2. I second the nomination. This story MADE my day! (though I am very anti Empire State of Mind replacing New York New York)

  3. Can there be a class action lawsuit against Ortiz and the Red Sox?
