BATTER UP BARBIE: DOLL TO BECOME A YANKEE

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- Barbie is trading in her pink outfits for some blue and white pinstripes: tomorrow Barbie will become a member of the New York Yankees baseball team. The new Barbie doll will sport the team's signature uniform, and will be unveiled by Yankees Scott Brosius and Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez in a ceremony at New York City's Official All Star Cafe. A Los Angles Dodgers Barbie and a Chicago Cubs Barbie are also on the drawing board.
