Stadium gets extra security

Officers to ensure Yankees' fans won't walk away with history

Associated Press

Yankee Stadium is going, going — just not yet gone.

The Yankees are working with Major League Baseball, the New York Police Department, and federal and state agencies to ensure fans don't walk away with pieces of the 85-year-old ballpark during the final five regular-season games.

The enlarged security force, made up of plain-clothed and uniformed officers, rivals the details used during past postseasons in the Bronx, NYPD Sgt. Lenny Tobie said before the Yankees played the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday.

The Yankees are moving into a $1.3 billion ballpark across the street next season, and the team is negotiating a sale of memorabilia from the House that Ruth Built with New York City, which owns the stadium.

Watch out for flying remotes

The New York Yankees' season has gone so badly, the wife of team president Randy Levine taped bubble wrap around the TV remotes to keep the furniture from getting damaged.

Hard to believe, given its $200 million payroll, but baseball's glamorous team will be missing the playoffs after a run of 13 consecutive postseason appearances.

The Yankees haven't been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention since Sept. 27, 1993.

Reds to open against Mets

The Cincinnati Reds will open next season against the New York Mets.

The Mets will play at Great American Ball Park on April 6 in the season opener. The 2009 schedule was tentatively released Wednesday.

Around the bases

Toronto Blue Jays president Paul Godfrey said he hasn't decided whether to seek a new contract when his current deal expires at the end of 2008, but supports retaining General Manager J.P. Ricciardi and manager Cito Gaston in 2009. . . . Austin Kearns, Dmitri Young, Ronnie Belliard and Jesus Flores are being shut down by the Washington Nationals for the rest of the season because of injuries.
