Yankees go the healthy route
A clubhouse ban on candy and other sweets doesn't go over so well.

So it has come to this in New York: You can't get a Baby Ruth in the clubhouse that was home to Babe Ruth.

New York Yankees Manager Joe Girardi has banned candy and ice cream in an effort to create a more healthy diet.

Furthermore, the Journal News of Westchester County reported that the Yankees asked opposing teams to remove the offending items from the visitors' clubhouse before the team arrives.

In Tampa Bay, the candy was replaced with nuts, dried fruit and granola, hardly an inspiring rhyme scheme for "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" ( . . . Buy me some peanuts, dried fruit and granola, I don't care if I ever go hoo-ma?).

Yankees players, meanwhile, were seen smuggling banned items (candy bars, not steroids) into the clubhouse.

It all leads to one important question: If the Yankees announce the hiring of Craig, will it be Roger or Jenny?
