The suit contends that the Yankees invented the cream pie in 2009 and any team wishing to use it must first obtain permission from the Yankees as well as pay royalties to the team.
For those unfamiliar with the situation, allow us to summarize. In 2009, the Yankees discovered emotion. For an organization that had long lived under the iron fist of a brutal dictator this was a new thing. The cream pie, an age old tradition, became a Yankees staple as it was all new to them.
Randy Levine explains, "I don't care what the history books say. It is very clear that the Yankees invented the cream pie, I don't think that can ever be disputed. What we need to figure out here is what kind of compensation we are entitled to by other teams like the Mets." Levine went on to single out Mets rookie Ike Davis. "The Davis kid is by far the worst offender. Shaving cream. Whipped cream. This kid has already twice flaunted this in our face. We cannot allow that to go on."
Levine went on for a while but we lost interest. We're pretty sure it went something like his. "Blah, blah, blah...proud tradition...blah, blah, blah...27 championships...blah, blah, blah...Mohegan Sun...blah, blah, blah...seat available between the bases."
While the case will likely be bogged down in legal red tape for a while, the Yankees will ironically be in court today for their other pending lawsuit against the Doubleday estate which claims that the Yankees, along with Babe Ruth, actually invented baseball and not Abner Doubleday or any of the other men who have been credited.
