The Tommy Bahama Bar at the New Yankee Stadium

If you're going to be visiting Yankee Stadium, be sure and check out the new Tommy Bahama Bar just inside Gate Six.

The Tommy Bahama Bar is located in the perfect place for meeting friends -- Gate 6 is the first gate you see when you get off the subway. Better still? They serve delicious drinks made with Tommy Bahama Rum!

Tommy Bahama Rum has been gaining momentum since its release in 2007, especially at the Tommy Bahama Cafes around the world. The rum is handcrafted in Barbados by R.L. Seale, a family owned and operated distillery with four generations of experience. The rum incorporates all natural ingredients -- blackstrap molasses, coral-filtered water, and yeast, and is fermented in small batches. The White Sand version is aged for two years in oak, and then the color is filtered out. The Golden Sun, amber-colored Tommy Bahama rum gets its color from three years of aging in oak. Tommy Bahama Rum is being distributed by Sidney Frank -- the same company who brought you Grey Goose and Jagermeister.

Marrying a sexy, high quality rum with a lifestyle brand like Tommy Bahama is a brilliant move. When you think Tommy Bahama, you think tropical, and what goes in tropical drinks? Rum.

I spoke briefly with Tommy Bahama CEO Terry Pillow about the collaboration and the new bar at Yankee Stadium. Click through the gallery to read the interview and see more of the new Tommy Bahama Bar!

Filed under: Auctions

Babe Ruth's 1918 baseball bat sold Friday at Mastro Auctions' Sports Auction for $101,069. The white-ash, Louisville Slugger was one of Ruth's first professional model, signature contract bat, meaning that it was created specifically for and approved by him. It has "George 'Babe' Ruth" stamped on the knob of the bat, as well as "Trademark Reg U.S. Pat Off."

The bat that Babe Ruth used to hit the first home run at the inaugural game at Yankee Stadium on April 18, 1923 was sold by Sothebys in 2004 for $1.265 million.
