NYDailyNews: A Pepsi-sponsored Yankee ticket giveaway turned into a fizzy mess Thursday when organizers suddenly threw fans - some of whom had been waiting since dawn - some curveballs.
Instead of the 250 pairs of promised tickets for today's historic opening game at the new Yankee Stadium, the Pepsi people showed up with just 100 sets - most for a game in June.
Instead of letting fans meet Goose Gossage, they had him step out of a limo and wave. Then handlers whisked the legendary Yankee relief pitcher away.
Instead of holding the event where they said they would - at 44th and Broadway - organizers suddenly moved it to 47th and Broadway, forcing fans who had staked out spots to make a mad dash across Times Square.
