The crisp and clear weather was perfect for a Yankees 27th World Series Championship ticker tape parade—so perfect that the streets along the Canyon of Heroes were teeming with excited people celebrating the Bronx Bombers victory. In fact, check out the Gothamist Newsmap and see the incidents of "large crowd," "unruly crowd," and "airmail" (things larger than confetti/streamers being thrown) in the area.
At City Hall, Mayor Bloomberg hosted the Yankees for lunch (former mayors David Dinkins, Ed Koch and Rudy Giuliani don't seem like they were invited, since they were sitting on the dais before the ceremony started) and then presented the team and rest of the organizations with keys to the city, specifically asking Hal Steinbrenner to bring one back to dad George, "the biggest Yankee." Finally, Jay-Z performed "Empire State of Mind" (with Bridget Kelly, not Alicia Keys) after the ceremony. Could this be the first time a drug-dealer-turned-rap star/entertainment mogul performed on the steps of City Hall?

When did Alicia Keys turn Asian?
Is that Bernard Keurig there on the float?
And, sorry Yankees fans, but ZZZzzZZzzzzZzzz. . . . I don't get sports at all. The same old thing every year. It all seems so pointless. They play a game. woo-fucking-hoo.
who put a hinske in the matsui cage?
oh, and Jeter needs a new barber... he's been rocking that awful do forever now. He can afford something better than Supercuts, I would assume.
As long as the models and actresses, not to mention just normal everyday women from every walk of life, keep fawning over him I don't imagine he's going to worry much what you might think of his hairstyle.
It is interesting, though, that someone who professes not to care at all about sports even knows whether his hair has changed over the years.
Its funny to watch Jay-Z & Alicia do their thing in front of a bunch of rich white people. It seems awkward as hell.
And it was terrible, which made me wonder why Jay-Z was even invited to sing.
Rap shows are SO lame performed live.
This is about one level up from Karaoke.
zzzzzz
Hey, what a perfect excuse for people from New Jersey to drive into my neighborhood & use it to park! Fabulous! Neato! Good thing we don't have any tolls or parking permits; that would actually help pay for stupid liberal commie socialist stuff like tickertape parades.
When will Hideki Matsui not need transwator? Here this country six seasons and getting much Yankee dolwar and still not able to speak spanish. What kind of baseball player is he?
I'm sure Jen Chung especially will appreciate your comment.
Does she speak Spanish? Does she play baseball? Has she been in this country for six years? I don't get the connection.
Cretin.
maybe he can take lessons from you...your grammar and spelling are outstanding.
Some people don't understand sarcasm. You do realize what sarcasm is, it's not the same as orgasm. I hoped I spelled sarcasm correktly.
Sarcasm is a lame excuse for assholes to be assholes.
I understand sarcasm, and I can also differentiate between sarcasm and racism. jerk.
What is racist about my comment? I am just asking that if someone is living in a country making millions a year wouldn't you think that lazy son of a bitch would learn the language of the country? I know people who go to countries in Europe on vacation for only a few weeks and they take language courses so they can talk to the residents of that country. So if the Jap ball player can't make a little time out of his off season schedule and make an effort to speak English I really can't say I feel like he's a New Yorker or anyway affiliated with this country.
It doesn't matter, he will be put out to pasture come his free agency time at the end of the month.
"It doesn't matter, he will be put out to pasture come his free agency time at the end of the month."
No he won't. It's not likely the Yankees can fit him in, but someone will be paying him millions next season. Could even be a team in Japan, for that matter. Either way, he won't be too worried that you're crying about his language skills.
Nah, not racist. Just misinformed.
He does speak English. However, he's dignified enough that he uses a translator when speaking to the media. He'd rather be quoted properly. He's actually the consummate teammate and professional, and no one has yet to say a bad word about him in all his years in the BX.
And speaking fluent English for someone who's a negative Japanese speaker is a fuckin breeze. (OK, that's that sarcasm you referenced)
Keep the negativity coming though. I love to read how commenters always have something negative to say about every topic. It's entertaining as hell.
Adeez makes good points. I would also add that the U.S. has no official language, so English is not the language of the country.
And snoopy, you just proved yourself to be a racist by using the term "Jap".
So how many idiot Yankee fans got arrested?
Not enough
The only two things green about this parade was the overtime paid to the cops standing around and the horse shit deposited by the mounteds. Actually I guess you would call the latter more brown than green.
A.K.A Guidos Parade.
It was nice to see the cops giving subway rides for free! No swiping needed!
Three pro-drug references and a prostitution reference in a song supposedly selling the great city of New York, sung on the steps of City Hall. Sure makes me proud to be a New Yorker.
Guys like Jay-Z who glorify the gangsta shit are responsible for more murders than Al Qaeda.
Nobody could understand any of it, anyway.
