Bases aren&#8217;t being stolen at <strong>Yankee Stadium</strong> anymore, but that doesn&#8217;t mean the thievery is over. During the 85-year-old ballpark&#8217;s final game, police arrested 18 people for trying to swipe souvenirs rather than pay some rich assholes for the right to own a Yankee urinal. </p>
<p>A private security team is going to protect the stadium from other would-be thieves now (like that&#8217;ll stop us). In honor of the fans&#8217; five finger discount, after the cut Complex looks back at five great Yankee Stadium rip-offs. We&#8217;re stealin&#8217; on ya!<br />

<strong> <u> DAMN YOU JETER </u> </strong><br />

<strong> 5. </strong> Remember that time you brought your chick to the ballpark and suddenly she became a huge Derek Jeter fan? He banged her while you were buying beers. Thought you should know.</p>
<p><strong> <u> PAVANO NEVER PAID OFF </u> </strong><br />

<strong> 4. </strong> Coming off an 18-8 record in 2004, free agent pitcher Carl Pavano signed with the Yanks for $39.95 million. In return he gave them stays on the disabled list with broken ribs, an elbow strain, a left hip injury and bruised buttocks (seventh inning stretch pause). For $500, he also sold them an HD TV box filled with cinder blocks.</p>
<p><strong> <u> YOUNG&#8217;N IS A BALL GRABBER </u> </strong><br />

<strong> 3. </strong> In the 1996 American League Championship Series against the Baltimore Orioles, with the Yanks down 4-3, 12-year-old fan Jeffrey Maier reached over the right field wall and deflected a Derek Jeter fly ball&#39;one that Tony Tarasco might have caught&#39;into the stands. Though it was obvious fan interference, the right field umpire ruled it a home run, tying a game the Bombers won with a home run in the 11th inning. Tough-as-nails crime fighter (and honorary Yankee fluffer) Mayor Rudy Giuliani punished the young punk for his thievery by giving him a key to the city. Lesson learned: It&#8217;s OK to steal from losers.</p>
<p><strong> <u> THERE WENT A-ROD&#8217;s PRIDE  </u> </strong><br />
<img src='http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/yanks_sox.jpg' alt='yanks_sox.jpg' /><br />
<strong> 2. </strong> In the 2004 American League Championship Series, the curse-breaking Boston Red Sox made history by taking four straight games from the Yankees to come back from an 0-3 deficit. The Sox not only stole the series, they also took A-Rod&#8217;s dignity when he tried to knock the ball out of pitcher Bronson Arroyo&#8217;s hand at first with a girlish slap. Heyyyyy!</p>
<p><strong> <u>  SORRY FANS </u> </strong><br />
<img src='http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/yanks_mrmet.jpg' alt='yanks_mrmet.jpg' /><br />
<strong> 1. </strong> For Yankee Stadium&#8217;s farewell season, the 2008 Yanks stank up the joint and eliminated themselves from playoff contention well before the end of the season, robbing fans of a meaningful pennant race or postseason play. Even Shea Stadium is getting a better sendoff with the Mets playing a critical final home stand&#39;and that place is an absolute shithole.</p>
