Yankee Stadium, home of the defending World Series champions, has just added the Apple iPad to its prohibited device list, which already included all laptops.
Team officials say it is nothing personal to the iPad, but bunches the tablet in with all laptops.
The ban is a "security-and-safety" issue, they add.
When asked, Major League Baseball said iPad bans are a team-by-team decision, and the New York Mets and the Seattle Mariners have already announced the device is allowed in their respective stadiums.
In April, the iPad was banned in Israel due to wireless standards irregularities, but the ban was subsequently lifted.
