Checking In On Yankees Grass

While the fact that there is “Yankees grass” isn’t new…you really need to experience the marketing.  By the way, this falls into the “if the Mets did this….” category.

For the fan and lawn enthusiast we offer you Yankees Grass Seedâ„¢. In these bags, you will find the same grass seed that is used to grow Yankees Sodâ„¢, a proprietary blend of 100% Kentucky Bluegrass. This one-of-a-kind mixture was selected specifically for the Inaugural Season at Yankee Stadiumâ„¢ because of its special growing characteristics and unparalleled performance capabilities. Now Yankees Grass Seedâ„¢ can be incorporated into your existing lawn or used to grow a brand new lawn.


For decades, baseball fans have revered the grass at Yankee Stadium. The field is a special place for those few who are fortunate enough to wear the uniform. But for everyone else, even fans who tour the Stadium, the grass is off-limits.



So how did it all start? In the Spring of 2007, DeLea Sod Farms planted three varieties of 100% Kentucky Bluegrass on a special 80 acre farm in Southern New Jersey. 


With 15 of these 80 acres under contract for the Yankees, that left 65 acres of the same grass available for you. And, with the help of Major League Baseball Properties Licensing team, Authentic Yankees Sodâ„¢ was born. 

Buy some here!

You know, I started out wanting to goof on this, now I wish I had thought of it.  Maybe I will go into the Plexiglass business.   Are you tired of your neighbor looking directly into your yard, now with traditional Citiglass you can experience the joy of obstructing views….hmmm lemme call Dave Howard.

Alternate Caps: World Series Champions Edition

Yeah I know I’ve been cap-obsessed lately, but it’s not as if the Mets are out signing players.    Here’s a Yankees World Series cap.  Everything baseball postseason is ugly, they use a pretty yucky font.  

If you must have a champions cap…this color scheme and font-age is much better.

The Royals Love The Yankees

OK, so maybe they don’t really love the Yankees per se, but the Royals – and the rest of the teams in MLB – have got to really love one aspect of the Yankees winning – it means more money for every team.

Literally within 10 minutes of the final out, MLB blasted an email touting 2009 World Series Championship gear. Since this first email, I have also received emails about World Series Pins and a special Sports Illustrated package.

Why does this make the Twins happy? Because of an agreement that Bud Selig negotiated with all the owners almost 10 years ago. MLB doesn’t have full revenue sharing. However, when it comes to any online activity – and that includes all online shopping – the proceeds are divided evenly among all teams.

The Yankees are the most marketed and marketable franchise in baseball. A Yankees WS Champion tee will sell far more than a Phillies one would have, let along the Twins for example.

So…Yankees win….MLB.com sells more merchandise……Oakland gets a bigger check.

Congratulations Yankees

Yes I am a Mets fan.

And yes I root against the Yankees.

However I will also give credit where credit is due. The Yankees had a hell of a year and as a baseball fan first and foremost I will congratulate the winners of the World Series.

That said, this off-season just got that much worse.

Alternate Caps: World Series Game 6 If Necessary Edition

If you are reading this that means that either
a) there is a Game 6 tonight or
b) the guy Dan who is supposed to be minding the blog while I am away is being a slacker.

This “3930” New Era hat is nice enough….but like many of the 2009 3930’s it has that annoying line on the side.

Speaking of lines on the side…this cap is a “women’s” cap.  I suppose women like lines.  Just get a regular hat.

Odd color scheme.   You can’t where this one during the series if you are a Phils fan.

This barely qualifies as a Yankees anything.   It looks like a made up cap they sell to the tourists.   Maybe if you came from Japan to watch Game 6 but that’s it.  Pass.
