NEW YORK — Billy Joel says he can't wait to play Yankee Stadium--he'll be playing music and a little baseball on the field where Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle and other greats once performed.
Two popes and several heavyweight fights have sold out the stadium, but Yankees officials say the native New Yorker and five-time Grammy winner will be the first rocker to headline a show there when he appears June 22. Other bands have played there following Yankee games.
