In less than two weeks, pop sensation Lady Gaga has become an unwelcome presence at the baseball stadiums in the city where she was born and raised.
On June 10, after arriving at Citi Field in the fifth inning of the game between the New York Mets and the San Diego Padres, Lady Gaga made a spectacle of herself by launching a profanity-laced tirade at photographers in the vicinity, which forced the team to relocate her to Jerry Seinfeld’s luxury box.
Once situated in the suite, for the coup de grace, an inebriated Lady Gaga stripped down to her bejeweled bra and panties and gave the Citi Field crowd a double-middle finger salute.
Eight days later, on the evening of the commencement of the season’s second Subway Series between the Mets and the New York Yankees, unLadylike Gaga was at it again, this time at Yankee Stadium.
According to NYPost.com, following the Mets’ 4-0 victory over the Bronx Bombers, Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, and two girlfriends smooth-talked their way past Stadium security for a 30-minute visit in the Yankees clubhouse, where she met six players including second baseman Robinson Cano and third baseman Alex Rodriguez.
During the unauthorized visit, a scantily clad Gaga, wearing a half-buttoned Yankees jersey exposing her black bra, fishnet stockings and a bikini bottom, proceeded to fondle her breasts over the jersey while reportedly drinking Jameson Irish Whiskey.
Upon hearing about this incident, Yankees co-chairman Hal Steinbrenner, described as “fuming”, permanently banned the songstress, who claims to be a lifelong Yankees fan, from the team’s clubhouse.
NYPost.com sources said Steinbrenner, who is co-chairman with brother Hank, club president Randy Levine, general manager Brian Cashman and manager Joe Girardi all had no idea Lady Gaga was planning a visit to the team clubhouse.
In light of Lady Gaga’s clubhouse antics, one has to wonder if she captivated the attention of Yankees lothario Alex Rodriguez, who has been linked to similarly eccentric pop star Madonna.
Either way, it’s become crystal clear that the 24-year-old ‘Fame Monster’, alcohol and baseball are a combustible mix that New York baseball fans don’t need nor want any part of.
