A funeral home used a special embalming treatment to keep the corpse of 24-year-old Angel Pantoja Medina standing for his 3-day wake, the AP reports. Dressed in a Yankees cap and sunglasses, Pantoja was mourned by relatives while propped upright in his mother's living room.http://www.newser.com/story/35265/corpse-proves-yankee-fan-a-stand-up-guy.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTue, 19 Aug 2008 13:39:07 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/35124/what-killed-babe-ruth.html?refid=rss_all_defaultAmerica thought Babe Ruth succumbed to throat cancer, caused at least in part by his smoking and drinking. But now a dentist who spent a year researching the circumstances surrounding the baseball legend's death tells the Sporting News that a different kind of cancer felled the slugger—and what's more, he died a self-sacrificing humanitarian.http://www.newser.com/story/35124/what-killed-babe-ruth.html?refid=rss_all_defaultMon, 18 Aug 2008 4:32:11 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/33832/a-rod-wants-prenup-enforced.html?refid=rss_all_defaultAlex Rodriguez plans to ask the Florida courts to enforce the prenup he and estranged wife, Cynthia, signed, the Daily News reports. The Yankee slugger acknowledges their marriage is “irretrievably broken” and wants the courts to disregard his soon-to-be-ex's allegations of "extramarital affairs and other marital misconduct" because Florida is a no-fault divorce state, making the matter "immaterial and impertinent."http://www.newser.com/story/33832/a-rod-wants-prenup-enforced.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThu, 31 Jul 2008 8:24:48 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/33779/yanks-get-pudge-from-tigers.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThe New York Yankees today brought in Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez from Detroit to replace the injured Jorge Posada, the Post reports.

Hank Steinbrenner confirmed today that team officials are at least talking about acquiring baseball's home-run king, though he wouldn't say just how serious those talks are.

Stadium security has taken to confiscating bottles of all shapes and sizes recently, a crackdown that came into focus during the weekend heat wave. “I need my sunblock,” one fan complained. “After they saw me dousing myself with it, it should have been obvious that it was sunblock and not some explosive.”http://www.newser.com/story/33077/burning-fans-revolt-as-yanks-ban-sunscreen.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTue, 22 Jul 2008 13:19:17 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/33023/a-rod-signs-with-hollywood-agency.html?refid=rss_all_defaultAlex Rodriguez has signed up with the William Morris Agency, the Wall Street Journal reports, as Hollywood's biggest talent agencies look to draft major sports stars onto their rosters.
