George Steinbrenner and his whiny son Hank are looking into having Bruce Springsteen play a “final show” or two at Yankee Stadium, which is closing its doors at the end of the season in favor of a newer, shinier model. The shows are reportedly supposed to “rival” the ones Billy Joel put on at Shea Stadium last July. (Cough.) The one sticking point? The Steinbrenners want the shows to be in November, when it’s cold and crappy in the general New York metropolitan area. Why not just schedule them for October, Steinbrenner and son? Weather conditions aren’t as raw, and it doesn’t look like your ballclub will be needing the facilities by that point… [NYDN]
