Jay-Z, Alicia Keys to perform before World Series opener


The Mets are fond of playing Long Islander Billy Joel's "New York State of Mind" at Citi Field, but the Yankees are going a little more contemporary for the World Series.
Rap artist Jay-Z, whose song "Empire State of Mind" has been featured at Yankee Stadium during the postseason, will perform it live before Game 1.
Jay-Z, a part-owner of the Nets, will perform with fellow New Yorker Alicia Keys. Jay-Z told the AP Monday he wanted to "thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee," a line he borrowed from Joe DiMaggio.
Hopefully his songs are more original.
