News & Notes

• According to hitting coach Kevin Long, Alex Rodriguez has begun lifting weights. This is very good, and another sign that Alex is moving along with his rehab a lot quicker than anticipated.
• The Yankees have posted a new picture gallery of the new stadium. You can check out the pics here. I'd post them myself, but I don't feel like being sued.
• Also new stadium related, NJ.com has posted this great slideshow of pics of the new stadium.
• It was announced today that Audi is now the official luxury vehicle of the New York Yankees.

  The new relationship also includes the naming of the Audi Yankees Club, an exclusive viewing location and membership restaurant, located on the H&R Block Suite Level in left field.

  The sponsorship begins with the opening of Yankee Stadium and extends through the 2011 season.

  Financial terms were not released.

So on that note this game thread is now the Audi Spring Training Game 28 Game Thread.
