In August ’08 a fan at Yankee Stadium decided to go take a leak during the 7th Inning Stretch – - but me made the mistake of walking past a patriotic cop while the music was playing a Kate Smith recording of “God Bless America”. So the cop got him and bounced him out of the Stadium, later claiming that the guy was drunk, up on his seat swearin’ during the song. Witnesses say no such damn thing happened. When confronted, Yankee officials slyly pointed out that the cops at the Stadium weren’t “on duty” but were on their own time workin’ as security guys.
