However, his increasingly dramatic attempts to get fired only end up making him look better. He wears Babe Ruth's uniform and deliberately gets food stains all over it, but Mr. Steinbrenner praises him, thinking it supports an "out with the old, in with the new" mentality. George then appears to streak through Yankee Stadium during a game, but he is actually wearing a flesh-colored body suit that makes him popular with the fans. Finally, he tries to destroy a replica Yankees' World Series trophy by hitching it to his Buick Regal and driving through the parking lot while screaming insults to the ball club with a megaphone. This finally brings the ire of Steinbrenner, before Mr. Wilhelm appears, takes credit for telling George what to do, gets fired, and then takes the job with the Mets. Catch the meeting with the Mets execs and George singing Meet the Mets in this condensed three minute Youtube version of The Millennium: [youtube]2MiNxdpWFD8[/youtube]

Why did Elaine make the comment below? And what team was Rickey on when Elaine said what she said? Answer both questions in the same post correctly and you can win a Seinfeld Pez Dispenser clapper.

I don't remember the name of it, but it's the one with Catherine Keener as the superintense painter Jerry's dating, and Elaine helps spur the breakup when she wears the Oriole's cap in Keener's father's Yankee seats. And it was the early nineties... I'm going to say... Oakland?

And it was the early nineties... I'm going to say... Oakland? In The Letter, Catherine Keener played the intense plagiarist artist, Nina. who gave us this piece of artwork: Playing hooky from work to go to the Yankee game, Elaine is forcibly removed from the stadium for wearing an Orioles cap while sitting in The Boss's personal seats. The incident is captured in a photograph which appears in the NYT with print coverage. Elaine said what she said to distract her boss so she could swipe his copy of the NYT and prevent him from reading read it and discovering Elaine's ruse, if he already didn't know. Rickey was an A.

The Brooklyn Cyclones stadium was renamed Vandelay Industries Park when the Cyclones recently held Seinfeld Night. Other hijinx included these fans imitating Elaine's spastic dance.

"You give the people the finger and you get upgraded?" [fimg=444]http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2009/04/22/nyregion/22seinfeld2.190.jpg[/fimg] What was that all about? Jerry Seinfeld calls Lady Gaga a 'jerk' after her bizarre baseball game behaviour Jerry Seinfeld, the American comedy star, has heavily criticised Lady Gaga, the singer, calling her a “jerk” and claiming he “hated” her. The 56 year comedy legend made the outspoken comments in the wake of the pop star’s bizarre behaviour at a recent baseball game. At a New York Mets’ game earlier this month the 24 year-old pop star, known for her flamboyant costumes as much as her records, was pictured dressed only in her underwear. As the "Bad Romance" singer, who grew up a Yankees fan, became the centre of attention, she then made an obscene gesture while being photographed at the Mets' Citi Field. The pop star, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, was then escorted to Seinfeld’s private box at the stadium. But Seinfield, the star of the hugely successful television show based on his surname, aired his displeasure at the performer this week. The actor, a diehard Mets fan, had originally brushed off the incident but in a radio interview, made a series of outspoken attacks on the “Poker Face” singer. “You know, I changed my mind. This woman is a jerk. I hate her," he told New York sports radio station WFAN this week. "I can’t believe they put her in my box, which I paid for. You give the people the finger and you get upgraded? Is that the world we’re living in now? It's pathetic.” When he was originally asked about the incident, he initially said: “"I wish her the best." But he then added: "You take one 'A' off of that and you've got gag." "She's a jerk. What is she giving the finger [for]? What's the finger anyway? Speaking of interesting and new, how old is the finger? How did it even get to be the finger?" "I'm not one of these all-publicity-is-good people. People talk about you (needing) exposure – you could die of exposure ... I don't understand how this is good for her, but I'm sure she understands her milieu better than I ever could." According to American reports, the funny man then attempted to end his criticisms, with an attempt at some flattery. "Get an act," he said. "Rhinestone bikinis and giving people the finger? But she is talented. I don't know why she's doing this stuff." A few weeks later Lady Gaga was banned from Yankee Stadium's clubhouse after the pop singer visited the baseball team's headquarters following a loss to the New York Mets. On Wednesday the singer was pictured arriving in London in yet another bizarre costume. But as she walked through Heathrow airport the pop star, dressed in thigh-high black leather trousers and platform boots with no heels, tumbled in front of paparazzi photographers as she lost her balance. It came as she announced plans to release the album early next year, she told Rolling Stone magazine. She said had finished her new album, after her debut "The Fame" topped charts around the world. In the Rolling Stone interview, she admits to being insecure. “When I wake up in the morning, I feel just like any other insecure 24-year-old girl, then I say, ‘ ... you're Lady Gaga, you get up and walk the walk today’,” she said. “I don't even drink water onstage in front of anybody, because I want them to focus on the fantasy of the music,’ she confessed. A spokesman for Lady Gaga was unavailable to respond to Seinfeld’s comments.
