The Yankees are my team, and their third baseman, Alex Rodriguez, is the best player in baseball. They played game 2 of their mid-week series against the Boston Red Sox last night at the stadium, and I regret that I saw this bit in the New York Times’ Bats blog:

The celebrities really are out for this series. On Tuesday night, Tiger Woods, Cameron Diaz and Katie Couric were in the stands. Alex Rodriguez got Couric to autograph a bat for him, and he signed some items for her, too.

I just paid $399 for a baseball autographed by A-Rod, and she gets this stuff for free just for being giggling on the Today show several years ago.

And she wasn’t in the Middle East, as promised.
