You might have seen this item in Friday’s Hot Clicks over at SI, but it’s worth revisiting for those who missed it.

The Yankees, like most teams, stay at the Ritz Carlton downtown when visiting Cleveland.

For this trip, they couldn’t.

From the LoHud Yankees blog:

“But the Yankees, who have a large traveling party, were unceremoniously booted out this weekend. A Saudi Arabian princess is in Cleveland to have surgery at the famed Cleveland Clinic and booked up the entire hotel to accommodate her retinue of handlers. She wanted 90 — that’s right, 90 — rooms. And you thought Vincent Chase had an entourage.”

Vince Grzegorek has been with Scene since 2007 and editor-in-chief since 2012. He previously worked at Discount Drug Mart and Texas Roadhouse.

  1. It really wasn’t a big deal. After they WALKED away from the counter, they WALKED out the lobby, and WALKED down the street. While WALKING through one of the crossWALKS, they saw another hotel and decided to WALK right in…

    Not a very good post, but a lot better than watching all those walks last night. I know the Yankees have a great lineup, and the pitching has been much better during the 5-3 homestand, but you got to throw the ball over the plate. That was horrific to watch yesterday.
