John Oliver rips into 'elitist' new Yankees ticket policy

Opening day of Major League Baseball is set for Wednesday, but the Yankees have already been thrown a knuckleball by Last Week's Tonight John Oliver, who painted the team's top brass and fan base as an elitist evil empire.

Oliver had a few choice words, expletives allowed on HBO, for the organization's exclusive Legends Club on Sunday night, taking aim at the team's definition of a fan that belong in high-end seats.

So Oliver tasked his viewers with setting a new standard for these seats, offering up two Legends tickets for just 25 cents a piece for the first three games of the season behind home plate, a highly visible location.
