Derek Jeter Lays One Down in St. Barths

Johnny Damon Shirts Himself

Wearing a button up shirt made from rejected casino carpet fabric, New York Yankee Johnny Damon hit up the Hard Rock in Las Vegas this weekend to celebrate his latest World Series win.

Johnny Damon

We're told Damon and his wife ordered bottles of Jack Daniels and Patron while inside the casino's club Wasted Space -- and as a bonus, Damon's former teammate Jason Giambi sent the happy looking couple a bottle of Dom Perignon.

Not even beer goggles can make Johnny's top attractive.

Congressman Wants Loser to Get Scalped

Real men pay their debts -- even if it means getting a mohawk.

Play video

We caught up with Congressman John Hall (D-NY) -- at a barbershop, no less -- who says he fully expects Congressman Robert Brady (D-PA) to pay up on their World Series mohawk bet.

So far, Brady's hairline remains intact.

Reggie Jackson Lookin' for a Handout

Reggie Jackson led the New York Yankees to two World Series wins and currently serves as the team's "special adviser" -- yet for some reason, he was hitting up a former Phillies player for tickets to last night's game!

Reggie Jackson & Joe Morgan: Click to watch
We found Mr. October in front of his NY hotel where he tried begging onetime Philadelphia second baseman/current ESPN analyst Joe Morgan for a few extra tix.

We're guessin' Reggie got what Reggie needed.

Philadelphia Phillies -- The Loneliest March

With no fans, smiles or any support mechanism in sight, the Philadelphia Phillies returned from losing the World Series to the New York Yankees last night and moped silently as a team back into their New York hotel.

This may be the saddest thing you'll see all day.

NY Politician Accepts Mohawk Challenge ... Kinda

It took less than an hour -- but a NY politician is totally stepping up to the plate to accept the Yankees-Phillies mohawk challenge issued by Pennsylvania congressman Robert Brady ... but in case you haven't noticed, there's just one small problem...



Congressman John Hall
(D-NY19) wants a piece of the head-shaving action ... but he seems to be lacking the proper equipment for a proper mohawk. Instead, he wants to raise the stakes. Here's John's statement:

"Brady must not be that confident. Just a mohawk? I'll see his mohawk and raise him a whole head. I'll shave all my hair if the Phillies win – which we all know isn't happening."

Some people in the TMZ newsroom believe Hall has more at stake -- due to the fact that balding people usually cherish the few follicles they have left. Others believe Brady -- and his big grey mane -- have more to lose.

We're calling Brady right now to see if it's game on!

Congressman -- I'll Bet My Hair on the Phillies!!!

With tonight's game just hours away, Congressman Robert Brady (D - PA) is looking to make a last minute bet in tonight's Yankees vs. Phillies showdown ... and he's willing to risk most of the hair on his head.

Congressman Brady: Click to watch
We got the Phillies phan on Capitol Hill today -- where he said he couldn't find a single NY fan with enough "guts" to meet his high-risk wager. The stakes: The loser would have to get a mohawk!

Any takers?

A-Rod Hits Traffic Ticket Out of the Park

Having a wildly impressive postseason really has its perks -- and yesterday in New York, it got Alex Rodriguez out of a traffic violation.

Alex Rodriguez: Click to watch
A-Rod's driver was this close to getting a ticket for blocking traffic in front of Serafina, but once the cop was told whose car it was -- and saw the group of teenagers standing by to get their hero's autograph -- the ticket book quietly disappeared.

Tonight, we'll see if A-Rod can make the Angels vanish just as easily.

Drunk Guy Swims with the Angels

Since hooligans always make a sporting event more interesting ... here's a clip of some drunken Anaheim Angels fan sneaking into the stadium's waterfall area during game 5 of the ALCS last night -- and dunking himself.



At the time, the Angels were beating the Yankees 4-0 ... but after this guy did his thing, the Halos gave up 6 quick runs. Eventually, the Angels rallied back and won.

Rally monkey.

A-Roid Confesses -- Cheater, Cheater, Cheater

Alex "The Fraud" Rodriguez just 'fessed up to taking performance-enhancing drugs while playing for the Texas Rangers during a three-year period beginning in 2001.

A-Rod: Click to watch
Cheater Rodriguez told ESPN's Peter Gammons, "When I arrived in Texas in 2001, I felt an enormous amount of pressure. I needed to perform, and perform at a high level every day."

Liar Rodriguez continued, "Back then, [baseball] was a different culture. It was very loose. I was young, I was stupid, I was naïve. I wanted to prove to everyone I was worth being one of the greatest players of all time."

Ruiner of Sports Rodriguez also said, "I did take a banned substance. For that, I'm very sorry and deeply regretful."

Blah, blah, blah cheater.

A-Rod Allegedly Knocks Steroid Test Out of Park

A-RodIn 2003 Alex Rodriguez posted high marks on nearly every important test: MVP, American League home run title, and ... anabolic steroids!

According to a Sports Illustrated report, A-Rod joined the ranks of 104 other MLB players that year who also tested positive. But back in '03 there were no penalties for a positive result.

For now, there has been no comment from A-Rod, the Yankees or the players union.

Tom Brady: Beanie, Baby

Yesterday's photo of New England Patriot's hunkerback Tom Brady in a New York Yankees cap set off a sh*tstorm of controversy among fans ... now Tom's putting a lid on it with a plain black ski cap.

The $60 million ball tosser, seen here with axed Victoria's Secret supermodel Gisele Bundchen, appears to have learned a lesson in local loyalty ... if not personal loyalty.

Tom capped off his look with a camo man-purse. Sexy!

Yankee Player Dies in High-Rise Crash

Cory Lidle dies in plane crashNY Yankee pitcher Cory Lidle was piloting the plane that slammed into The Belaire, a 50-story New York City high-rise this afternoon. Lidle perished in the crash, along with one other person

TMZ has learned that Lidle was issued a private pilot's license in February of 2006, which certifies him to fly single engine airplanes.

Lidle, 34, joined the Yankees this season, and has pitched for several teams during his eight-year career, including the Philadelphia Phillies, New York Mets, and Oakland Athletics. Several of the Yankees live in the very near vicinity of the building that was struck at 72nd Street and York Avenue, including Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Hideki Matsui, and, especially, first baseman Jason Giambi and catcher Jorge Posada, who live within just a few blocks of The Belaire.
