NOW BATTING FOR THE NY YANKEES - 1B AUSTIN POWERS: In the never-ending search for privacy, famous faces have used unique names when checking into hotels and motels. Elvis Presley would often register as “John Burroughs”, while Paul McCartney would sign in as “Phil Ramone”.

Now, 100% INJURY RATE learns the New York Yankees have followed in the King’s & the Walrus’s footsteps, as they uncover this list of pinstripe pseudonyms. These nonsensical names were used by the Bronx Bombers during a 2005 visit to Seattle.

Don Mattingly went by Bruce Almighty. Derek Jeter was Johnny Drama. Jorge Posada rhumba-ed in as Ricky Ricardo. Ruben Sierra shagged in as Austin Powers. Randy Johnson brewed up as Sam Adams. Bernie Williams showed up as Richard Long. (Get it? HA!)

For the Yankees’ (short?) stay in Cleveland, may we also suggest:

• Richard Hertz
• Michael Hunt
• Richard Leakey
• Michael Rotch
• Seymour Butts
• Claude Balls
• Heywood Jablomi

If the Yanks keep playing like they did in Game 1, we’d want to be anonymous, too.
