Madonna made an appearance at a New York Yankee game on Saturday, July 12th — She was in the front row looking and cheering on New York Yankees’ Alex Rodriguez.
Rodriguez , who was photographed waiting to bat against the Toronto Blue Jays during the third inning of their MLB American League baseball game in Toronto, didn’t appear to be all that happy to see his “soul mate“.
There’s been much speculation regarding Madonna’s failing marriage to Guy Ritchie, now we may know why.
The singer has been hosting late-night visits from New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez at her Central Park West apartment in New York City.
A ringless and grim-faced Ritchie, 39, arrived in New York City from London yesterday after several weeks apart from his family. A source said that the $28-million-a-year Rodriguez, 32, has made numerous solo nighttime visits to Madonna, 49, at her spacious home and would sneak out “as late as midnight.” Says the source, “All the doormen are talking.”
Rodriguez attended Madonna’s April 30 NYC concert; the singer sat in his seats at a Yankees game on June 22 (it was the first time she ever was photographed at a Yankees game). Her son Rocco, 7, also sported Yankees gear on June 25 while playing in Central Park.
Rodriguez, married with two young daughters, has already faced speculation about cheating: In 2007, he and a stripper were reportedly spied in Toronto, Miami and Dallas.
Complicating matters: Former Yankee slugger Jose Canseco – who once dated Madonna – wrote in his book Vindicted that he “hates [A-Rod's] guts” because he once hit on his wife.
OOooh scandal! It’s always a story about cheating, isn’t it? Alex Rodriguez sounds like a real tool, you would think that Madonna would have better taste than that. Once a cheater, always a cheater.
What others said:
- Gawker says, “The New York Post must be devastated, for whom this would have been the most perfect story: a singer who made her name in New York with the city’s most hated sports celebrity.
- Dlisted says, “I don’t even watch to picture these two bumping muscley genitals. They probably get stuck all the time, because Vadge’s muscled-up chocha traps A-Rod’s rod.”

Billy Crystal will get to “look mahvelous” in pinstripes. The actor will sign a minor league contract with the New York Yankees and play in Thursday’s exhibition game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
USA Today reports,
 Crystal, an avid Yankees fan, will work out with the team on Wednesday and will wear uniform No. 60 for the game — to be played one day before his 60th birthday. The Yankees said Monday they have the approval of baseball commissioner Bud Selig.
“I’ve been waiting 50 years for this call,” Crystal said in a statement released by the team. “I’m overwhelmed by the generosity of the Yankees and commissioner Selig. I know this’ll be tougher than the Broadway Softball League, but I’m looking forward to helping the younger players, which by the way is all of them. Oops, I have to go, Scott Boras is on the phone.”
Crystal, according to the Yankees, hit .348 and was captain during his senior year at Long Beach High School in New York. He directed and produced *61, a move about Roger Maris, Mickey Mantle and the 1961 Yankees.
“The Yankees are excited to welcome the newest member of our team known for his humor and wit as well as his undying love for the Yankees,” chief operating officer Lonn Trost said.
They forgot to mention his BIG FAT wallet.

Gilbert Gottfried has won a dubious honor, presented by a newspaper you’ve never heard of.
Comedian Gilbert Gottfried, the voice of the Aflac duck in television commercials for the insurer, was crowned “unsexiest man in the world” by an alternative newspaper Tuesday. “The parrot-voiced, pickle-faced comic is to sexy what Kryptonite is to Superman,” The Boston Phoenix wrote.
New York Yankees pitcher Randy Johnson came in second followed by film critic Roger Ebert, television psychologist Dr. Phil McGraw and Fox television co-host Alan Colmes. Even actor Brad Pitt made the list, as the newspaper’s 100th-least sexy man. Osama bin Laden clocked in at number eight.
George Steinbrenner, owner of the Yankees — arch-rivals to the Boston Red Sox — also made the list. “Come on, we live in Boston, you knew it was coming,” the Phoenix said.
Others included pop star Michael Jackson and nasal-voiced rapper Mike Diamond (Mike D) of the Beastie Boys.
I’ve never given much thought to Gottfried’s sexiness, although am not surprised that it is considered minimal. He is certainly among the world’s most annoying people, though.
