Yesterday at Yankee Stadium, Major League Baseball unveiled the logo for its 2008 All-Star Game. Mayor Bloomberg was on hand to 
|
The city's going to generate $150?
I'm shocked - that's actually a really classy (and classic) looking logo.
$150 is not much... considering all of the extra people, security, general mayhem that event is going to generate for 4-5 days.
The Yankees are being rewarded for tearing down a great historic venue. As if the half billion plus in subsidies and tax breaks for the new stadium aren't enough.
i like bloomberg, but next to jeter, hes a tiny little feller.
Hey, wow, that wax statue of Yogi Bera is great!
Oh, wait ...
I love the fact that Bloomberg isn't even smiling!
But, I do like the logo; classy is the best word for it. Like the pinstripes and the incorportation of the identifiable design of the top of the stadium.
I wouldn't be smiling too if I were that short.
but you gotta love yogi. yoohoo.
I think Yogi and the mayor are the same height, yogi's wearing boat shoes and the mayor has on dress shoes. I'm calling it a draw.
Look at the package godzilla's packing.
I especially love the white flags. Entirely appropriate.
anyone else think that those things on the side look a little like adidas stripes?
It's a nice logo. Yankee Stadium is a shithole, though.
Great logo, maybe these guys will go over to London and help them out.
Nice logo. It is actually tasteful, unlike some [alleged] drug addict cheater sullying the record books and acting like Charles Barron when challenged.
Now Yogi would be the perfect baseball commish, since I think he has something that Herr Selig doesn't - a love for the game.
there should be a skyline of high-rise condos on the top and a caption on the bottom that reads something line, "NEW YORK YANKEES. 12 YEARS IN A ROW OF THE HIGHEST PAYROLL IN BASEBALL AND 12 YEARS IN A ROW OF MAKING THE PLAYOFFS. YANKEES TRADITION!!!"
What, they couldn't get Phil Rizzuto out for this photo op?
"Holy Cow! Are you as confused as I am by all these new tax laws? Rrrrrrhrrh...." (pushes papers off desk)
Say what you will about the new logo. It's the only thing keeping Yogi vertical.
Hideki's got a big skull, like a Rottweiler.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this logo is misguided in my opinion. So generic and corporate, not fun at all. Isn't the all-star game supposed to be fun?
They usually don custom jerseys, in the colors or style of the hosting team, for the HR Derby. I guess they'll all have pinstripes for that!
Hey! Isn't the "other" guy, the Ragin' Cajun, Ron Guidry? I guess Ron was the only Yankee on today's team that was also on the team when the Yankees last hosted the All Star Game in 1976.
That speech is not "pun-laced." (At least, not the part that was quoted.) It actually does not contain any puns at all.
Matsui's packin godzilla in his pants
How do we get tickets for the All-Star game?
Where's Torre? Could i speculate Guidry as coach of the Yankees in '08?
25 - Torre wasn't there since he was never an All-Star player for the Yankees (although he's managed several all-star games). Guidry will not be the manager next year. It will most likely either be Torre, Mattingly or Girardi.
expect another losing season,
go Mets.
It kinda looks like Matsui's packin' a double-header - so to speak - in his pants to me.
Maybe it's the way he tucked his shirt into his pants. Otherwise, YOWZA!
protective cup and jock strap people.
Asian men have tiny weewees
What's the cup/jock for, an over aggressive Yogi/Bloomie tag team? It's a photo op
hopefully this will go as smoothly as the Las Vegas NBA all star weekend.
Oh yeah #31? And how do they taste?
Like ginger
Guest 12:44 is right -- there are no puns at all. Geez, Gothamist, let's get it together, alright?
ledgend? LOL
