Pope told to stay off of Yankee Stadium grass in New York...

Yes, the grass at Yankee Stadium is holier than the Pope.

"The Yankees had only one request, and that is that we not touch their grass," said Mark Ackermann, who is running the Office of the Papal Visit for the New York archdiocese. "The All-Star game will be there this year and of course we're all confident that the World Series will be there as well. So the Yankees need to keep it in good shape and we've been most respectful of that."

  • is it safe to be riding around in a car like that one in the picture?

    This is further proof that the Yankees are the anti-Christ.

  • It's super-invisible bulletproof glass. Also, he's not waving in that photo, he's creating a psychic forcefield.

  • Yankees: Uh... Pope? Could you just maybe stay off the grass... We have some sweet grass... Just don't wanna mess it up.

    Pope: (Christian mumbo-jumbo)

    Pope gets in the driver seat, punches it to 70 making a cross in center field.

    Pope: Yeah, that's better.

  • Maybe the yankees didn't want to aggravate the owner of their souls, hhmmm, another championship.
    ohplease
  • I like how the Pope may not be allowed to "desecrate" the grass at Yankee Stadium, but they're able to let goofballs like Jose Canseco and David Wells bless the grass with their tomfoolery

  • I see by the picture that this Pope doesn't require the same level of security as Pope John Paul. He must not be as popular.

  • Yankees > The Pope. 'Nuff said.

  • He was just at the White House. Maybe they were afraid of contamination.

  • Yeah the Yankees can't have The Pope tokyo-drifting all over their turf you know he would wanna at least drive the bases.

  • Pope: I'm coming to your stadium
    Yanks: OK well you can walk on the grass, but
    don't drive on it
    Pope: Gotta drive
    Yanks: OK well you gotta stay off our grass then
    Pope: Gotta drive
    Yanks: Um....we kinda have another big game coming here, so seriously
    Pope: Gotta Drive
    Yanks: uh....ok Pope.

  • So the pope is allowed to create 7 new deadly sins(that absolutely no one pays attention to outside the Catholic Church), but isn't allowed to walk on the grass in Yankee Stadium?

    I find that rather funny.

    The Pope shoud hold his mass at Shea Stadium instead... though they might rickroll him during communion

    They pissed offa the poopa! In 1999 when the pope visited St. Louis' then TRANS WORLD DOME, the RAMs FANS credited his appearance there with their 2000 Super Bowl Win..

    They didn't win after that, and Trans World Airlines went caputski--but anyway, the moral of the story--don't piss offa the popa.. !

  • Wishful thinking Beckmann! ;-)

    But I do have to admit it's pretty ballsy of THE YANKEES to tell the freakin' POPE to NOT walk on their grass, it's the FREAKING POPE!!

  • Are they afraid he might bury a Red Sox jersey?
    marcozarco
  • what a bunch of losers. i am not religious in any stretch of the word and regardless of how nice my lawn was id let him walk on it. idiots

  • dude , that's not even the real pope - do you honestly think the vatican would just let their idol / fetish go around waving his hand to yankees fans ? no . the real pope lives in a bubble in a temperature controlled and nuke proof chamber and will be instantly flash frozen (cryogenically ) the moment he dies . trust me , i have connections .

  • YES THE YANKEES ARE HOLIER THAN ALL ELSE! hahah. THis is pretty funny.

  • The pope was also warned to stay away from their ROIDZ

  • this just goes to show that the bible is further proof of astronomy. The "Yanks" don't care!!! America seriously isn't phased anymore by the all-obeying!! We are our own people. let us evolve, we don't need anyone to "show us the way"!!! A tradition had to start somewhere!!

  • Would the Pope let the Yankees play ball in the Church? I think not!

  • Chancellor Palpatine, uh, I mean the Pope isn't as holy to me as the grass.

  • I don't see why the grass really matters. If I were the Pope I would have turned around and left, then the Yankees would be crying for him on their grass after the bad publicity it would cause.

  • Why would the Yankees not want the Pope to ride on their grass. Is the owner one of the kids that the Pope had encounters with when he was young. Something to think about.

    You Heard Me. Okay, my soul is damned to hell for this. lol
