Stadium records to be kept secret after Yankees won battle
Posted Byi steroids
In a surprising judgment, the State Supreme Court Justice John Egan Jr. quashed a subpoena asking for access to thousands of documents about the latest $1.5 billion stadium by Assemblyman Richard Brodsky. Quashing the subpoena, Egan remarked that subpoenas should not be used as fishing expeditions.
The judgment has provided a big sigh of relief to the camp of Yankees after two of their star performers, Red Sox tormentors Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz, were earlier linked to steroid use.
From TimesUnion.com:
Egan said Brodsky raised a good point about the need to examine taxpayer-funded stadium construction, but, the judge noted, the Yankees did not invent the practice.
Requiring the Yankees to pack up every last document relating to the construction of the new stadium, amounting to hundreds of thousands of pages, load them literally into a tractor trailor and deliver them to the Legislature is neither reasonable nor productive of this goal.”
The Yankees cheered Egan’s ruling.
In a statement issued moment after the ruling was released, the team’s lawyers, Jonathan Schiller and George Carpinello said:
“The baseball season is now in full swing and millions of fans have already enjoyed the new Yankee Stadium. It is time to move on.”
“In terms of the Decision this morning, and Mr. Brodsky’s subpoena in particular, the Court found that ‘the Yankees have made a good faith effort to comply with the Subpoena, culling through and producing a great deal of documents for inspection.’”
Justice Egan further remarked that though Assembly’s Committee on Corporations, Authorities, and Commissions has a legal authority to issue the subpoena in question, the request for records was “too broa.
