Last Friday, the Yankee parade terrorized downtown NYC, and while it was fun (for Yankee fans) to see their favorite players move along The Canyon Of Heroes, rap fans were surprised to see Jay-Z and his right-hand-man Ty-Ty on A-Rod’s float. Yup, Jay, Alex and Ty-Ty were like the new “Roc Boys,” and A-Rod had no problem becoming the latest person to fall into the “I’m-standing-next-to-Jay-Z-so-I-want-to-look-cool-by-making-a-diamond-with-my-hands” category.
We shouldn’t be too hard on A-Rod, though, there’s been tons of awkward Rocafella Diamond sightings anytime there’s a chance for a celebrity to get a photo-op with Hov. Don’t believe us? Check out the random assortment of celebrities who felt the need to throw the Roc up like they were bulimic, then check the Jay-Z songs we associated them with. Diamonds up!

Which city wins the World Series of Women—NY or Philly?
The Yankees and Phillies kick off the 2009 World Series tonight and resume a bitter rivalry between their cities (relevant on a national scale once upon a time, Philly is very, very bitter that New York is the shit worldwide). Baseball alone is enough to bring out the hate Philadelphians and New Yorkers feel for each other, so wait until we put their women up against each other. Check out the head-to-head match-ups between NYC and Philly natives and help us decide which city takes the trophy for hottest women…

Sure, tonight’s got the first games of the NBA season, but for the first time in a long while we’ve actually got baseball on our minds here in late October. After enduring ignoring thrilling World Series matchups like Philadelphia-Tampa Bay and Houston-Chicago the last few years, it looks like baseball has a matchup for the ages on its hands with the Yankees-Phillies tilt that’s set to start tomorrow night.
Of course the sports talking heads are chattering away about this could-be classic of a Series, but we know you don’t come to Complex to talk about who hits better when they’re behind in the count. You’d rather know who’s fans fight better in the stands, and who’s pitching coach is more likely to spark a j in the dugout, right? We thought so, and made sure to include both in our Ultimate Guide to the 2009 World Series.

When somebody fights the Yankees, we all win.
A lot of people hate New York, but we can all agree that the Yankees are Satan’s baseball team. That’s why we love to see the Bronx Bombers get into a brawl, because there’s always the chance that one of the ridiculously overpaid mega-stars will get lumped up. Naturally we enjoyed the action last night when New York catcher Jorge Posada fought with Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Jesse Carlson over a warning pitch, a glare, and a bump. Tragically, none of the Yankees who spilled out onto the field were hurt, depleting the team’s postseason roster. As the bruises heal, Complex revisits other times the hated Yanks took one on the chin…

Note to CC: Sometimes Yankee pinstripes feel like prison bars.
If you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere. If you can’t, you’re just a c-suckin’ sonovabitch. Star pitcher CC Sabathia, who just signed with the Yankees for seven years and $161 million, will soon find out if he can deal with the stress of hurling in the Big Apple. A fat, fun-loving California dude, he wanted to sign with a National League team in the Golden State, where life and baseball are sunny, but he took the Evil Empire’s money and now he’ll have to contend with cold weather, frigid fans, high expectations, over-involved owners and media that gets up in that ass more than a prison sugar daddy.
We’ll have to wait and see if Bronx Bummers boo the smile off his face, but in the meantime, check out six players who signed with the Yanks for big money as free agents and found out they were definitely not built for New York…
