For some insane reason, Yankee Stadium has a ban on bringing sunblock into the park. Well, proud fair-skinned baseball fans, that has officially changed...kind of.

Yankee fans are seeing - and turning - red over a ban on sunscreen, which Stadium security guards say was widely expanded in the last few weeks. The Stadium does sell 1-ounce bottles of Arizona Sun SPF 15 for $5 - a huge markup that makes its beer seem cheap. An hour after being asked about the sunscreen ban, Yankee spokesman Jason Zillo told The Post that the rules would be changed to permit 3-ounce containers.

Wow. Thanks for the generous amount of hospitality, jerks. We all know that the Steinbrenner's take patriotism to the extreme, but I'm not really sure that this is the best course of action to show that. It's sad that it's easier to get into an airport terminal than it is into a baseball game. So come on out to Yankee Stadium before they tear it down, Irish descendants, Goth weirdos, and Gingers. But be prepared to spend an arm and a leg just to ensure that you don't spontaneously combust.

Because if the Yankees did allow you to tan and not burn, then, and only then, would the terrorists claim victory. And that ain't happening in Big Stein's house. Because in his world, people have been injecting C4 into sunscreen bottles for years. Skin cancer? Never heard of it.
