"Bank of America"


The first 40,000 fans in attendance at Yankee Stadium on Sept. 8 will receive a replica of Derek Jeter's Hall of Fame plaque.

Cool.

Where can I get a sponsor for MY tombstone?

At least its not citibank. Or Alfabank.

My first instinct was " who gives a shit?"
My next thought was " don't place it down too hard" because it will break into many pieces.
Yankee giveaways are always pieces of crap. One giveaway I attended was "Umbrella Day". I opened it up for the first and only time as the force of the opening spring action turned it inside- out and made the ribs bent beyond usage. LOL...typical Yankee schlock.

I'll attend if they give me Cashman's position as GM instead of Jeter's tombstone! I'll invite all of my It is High family to participate in the restructuring of the 2022-Poo fest!

I know I am getting older, but do I have to grow bitter too? What a cheesy operation our once great team has become.

Agreed. Is the bank logo covering part of the plaque language? Hard to say. But what a joke.

Do they plan a September promotion like this one b/c they know the team will be 88 games behind by that time?

I can't wait till they retire Joey Gallo's number. They can just put .199 up there.

I guess desperate times call for desperate measures. Anything to entice the rubes back into the stadium.

I'd rather have the ice cream dots.

Born...exactly.
Just what the casinos do to lure the uncontrollable gamblers back time and time again. And it doesn't take much. I have one such friend. All it takes is a free sports bag, roasting pot or cheap apparel and they return.

The sculptures (bas-reliefs? bas-relieves?) on these things are always so goddamn creepy. That crooked toothy smile is the stuff of nightmares.
