====================< THIS JUST IN
==================== NEW York (Rueters) -- It rained
on the New York Yankees' World
Series championship parade up the
"Canyon of Heroes" Friday when
it was revealed that all prices at
Yankee Stadium concession stands
will double in 2010.
<

<
Former Mayor Rudy Guiliani told
Fox News that the average total
cost for taking a family of five to
a ballgame will skyrocket to $865
next season..
He emphasized that figure does
not include the cost of parking your
car nor the $20 fee to have your
windshield squeegeed by enterprising
out-of-work citizens at intersections
near the stadium.
The Amalgamated Squeegee
Workers Union of North America
apparently wants a bigger piece
of the Yankees' pie, said Guiliani.
It should be noted that these current
concession stand prices will be doubled,
even though there will be smaller
portions..
