Following Billy Joel's two-night performance bidding farewell to Shea Stadium, rumors are whirling around who the Yankees might book for their goodbye in November. The Daily News reports that George Steinbrenner is looking to the other The Boss himself, Bruce Springsteen, for the closing ceremony extravaganza--but another rumor is pointing at former Beatle Paul McCartney. If it's true, wouldn't he be turning his back on Shea, where he first played the U.S. 43 years ago (and played again last month with Joel)? The News also notes that "sources close to both rockers weren't aware of any discussions." Can't wait for the Madonna/Lenny Kravitz double-bill rumor! Now that would awkward.
