Yesterday SPORTSbyBROOKS let us know that the Yankees had taken money earmarked for stadium planning and used it to buy lavish things. This information was revealed via the Freedom of Information Law.But apparently even more stuff came out. After sorting through the old documents, The Village Voice came across a list accidentally included from a road trip the Yanks took to Seattle in the last week of August of 2005. It was a crib sheet explaining which player and coach names went with which hotel-room pseudonyms. Some are juvenile, some are awesome, and some are just random as hell.
Here's the list.
Pseudonym: Simon Phoenix
Real name: Mike Mussina
Pseudonym: Bruce Almighty
Real name: Don Mattingly
Pseudonym: Austin Powers
Real name: Ruben Sierra
Pseudonym: Johnny Drama
Real name: Derek Jeter
Pseudonym: Turd Ferguson
Real name: Jaret Wright
Pseudonym: Richard Long (very clever Bernie)
Real name: Bernie Williams
Pseudonym: Rickey Ricardo
Real name: Jorge Posada
Pseudonym: Joe Saturday
Real name: Hideki Matsui
Pseudonym: Harry Pelotas (yes, that's Harry Balls when translated)
Real name: Luis Sojo
Pseudonym: Sam Adams
Real name: Randy Johnson
Pseudonym: Eleven Fifty
Real name: Matt Lawton
A-Rod stayed at a different hotel so he didn't make the list. Damn shame.

Eleven Fifty?
Great find.
a-rod is on that invoice . he just uses his first and middle name. alex emanuel, he is also the player with the highest open balance.
Nope, nothing conspicuous about any of those names.
I see Randy as more of the "Yosemite Sam" type...
I worked at a hotel where A-Rod stayed once and he was listed as Pat Riley.
Shouldn't A-Rod's alias be I-suck-a-Rod?
I thought 'Randy Johnson' was the fake name.
