Yanks to Pope: Stay off the Grass!

From the Daily Mail (hat tip to Fanhouse):

The arena is home of the baseball team the New York Yankees and the Vatican has been told that the Popemobile will not be allowed to touch the grass.

Instead, the white armour-plated vehicle will do a lap of honour around the edge of the stadium.

For those who were wondering, I think this is going to be what The Stadium will look like during the papal mass this Sunday:

This rendering was sent to me by one of this blogs readers, thank you Gerard.

The Pope coming to Yankee Stadium is great and all, but why did he have to do this when it would screw up the Yankees schedule like it has? The reason the Yankees are playing so many road games this month, and have to come home for a 2-game series (with the Sox) and then go back on the road, is because of this papal visit. Couldn't they have done a better job planning this? Oh well, the Pope better say a prayer or two for the Yankees.
