NEW YORK - Go ahead, Yankees fans. Slather on that SPF 45 -- sunscreen is now legal in Yankee Stadium.
The baseball team has lifted a ban on plastic containers of sunscreen at their ballpark after deciding "not to be as stringent," team spokesman Jason Zillo said today.
Sports teams around the country started restricting what fans could bring into stadiums after the 2001 terrorist attacks.
The Yankees' website lists bans on backpacks, briefcases, coolers, large purses, laptop computers and video cameras. Bottles and cans also are on the forbidden list, but the sunscreen question is not specifically addressed.
The New York Post reported today that Yankees fans were hot and bothered over the weekend because of a crackdown on sunscreen.
The newspaper said security guards confiscated garbage bags full of the stuff at entrances to the stadium when the team played Saturday and Sunday day games in 90-plus weather.
Zillo said the Yankees have banned sunscreen containers larger than 3 ounces for several years but the restriction was eased in the last few days and sunscreen is now permitted.
Major League Baseball, which promotes skin-cancer prevention through its "Play Sun Smart" program, leaves security measures up to teams. The Mets, allows sunscreen.

I hope you feel real proud of yourself the next time the terrorist squirt sunscreen in Bobby Abreu's eyes cuasing him to drop a routine fly ball which allows the wining run to score and the Yankees lose and miss the playoffs by 1/2 game. You arrogent basterd! It's not all about you!
Bobby Abreu does not need sunscreen squirted in his eyes to drop a routine fly ball. And the Yankees may miss the palyoffs by a lot more than a 1/2 game jerky. Oh, and by the way, this blog, in case you haven't noticed, is ALL ABOUT ME you nincompoop.
You are a poopie pants!
Why don't you grow up you..you..you doodie head!!
