I have a post up today over at HarvardBusiness.org on the PR disaster that is the New Yankee Stadium.

I’m not saying it’s going to happen, but I am saying [...]

We here at Umpbump have done quite a few all-time teams. We’ve also cataloged quite a series of Hot Baseball Wives. In this post, I will attempt the acrobatic feat of bridging the twain. Yes, reader: The All-Hot Team.
