Philadelphia Phillies head into Game 2 of the World Series leading the series against the New York Yankees 1-0, but what’s more compelling about this game outside of the fact that the Yankees were dominated in Game 1 by Cliff Lee’s pitching and Chase Utley hit two home runs off CC Sabathia, is the fact that Pedro Martinez is pitching in Game 2 against New York.

While this is his first World Series start in five years, Martinez plans to lead the Phillies to a two-game lead over New York Thursday night at Yankee Stadium.

He is known for his snow white beard and hair along with his time with the New York Mets, but ESPN’s Baseball analyst Steve Phillips has been in the news for his steamy affair with a production assistant at the network while still married to his wife Marni.

According to the New York Post that initially had this exclusive story, which is now being reported everywhere on the web, Phillips had an affair with 22-year-old Brooke Hundley, a young lady who still works for company, while it was announced that Phillips has been suspended for one week.

If you think the New York Yankees are the only ones opening a new ballpark in New York, then think again. The New York Mets is doing the same and it's no longer Shea Stadium it’s now Citi Field.

For years, the New York Yankees have been accused of hurting the baseball economy. This season, have they hurt their fan base and residents of New York?
