Word came on Monday that Major League Baseball had worked out a deal with
Jay-Z and Alicia Keys that would have them performing "Empire State of Mind" before game one of the Yankees-Phillies World Series taking place tonight in the Bronx. But then word came last night because of a rainy forecast for tonight the performance is being pushed back to game two, tomorrow night.. If you were worried that Jay was being a punk and didn't want to play in the rain, fear not—officials are simply worried that all that heavy gear would be bad news for a wet field. Now I will go back to thinking about how awesome it's going to be when he gets to the "Shit, I made the Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee can" line.
