Shit they'd send him anywhere else at this point, no matter the country.

<p style="font-size:1em;">Former Yankees assistant equipment manager Paul Priore was fired in 1997. He says the team let him go because he is HIV-positive; the Yankees, and New York state courts, disagree. Now the seamy tell-all Priore threatened to write has found its way to print (albeit through self-publishing), and co-author Gary Toushek is spamming the world with this bizarre video explaning why Priore’s outlandish claims are totally legit.

<p style="font-size:1em;">About those claims! Here are some things Paul Priore says he witnessed, as outlined amongst the 500-some pages of Abused By The New York Yankees and according to the book’s website and this review:

• Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada engaged in sexual relations in the clubhouse sauna at the end of their first season with the team. Jeter and Posada then allowed Priore to perform oral sex on them in order to keep him quiet.
  
• George Steinbrenner spied on players using secret security cameras in the clubhouse, and was actively involved in the Iran-Contra Affair.
  
• Outfielder Gerald Williams had sex with an underage concession stand worker in a storage closet.
  
• Cecil Fielder played drunk on vodka, and Darryl Strawberry drank whisky during games.
  
• Bob Wickman, Jeff Nelson and Mariano Rivera tried to sexually assault him with a baseball bat.
  
• Batboys created a market of forged autographs on Yankees memorabilia.

So I'm not a lawyer or anything, but can't all of those guys sue him if none of this is true?

Yes.

That explains why the Contras fought in pinstripes.

[rok]

Then he must be telling the truth.

I was just cracking up at the random inclusion of that amongst the ass raping.

That's kind of what I'm wondering. Why wouldn't they?

A. How much are you going to pay your lawyers vs. how much can you expect to recover (I don't know enough about this area of law to know how viable it is to go after the publishing company).

 

B. How much do you want to get in the mud with this guy?

Presumably, that's a question for Jeter and Posada.

On point A: The article says the book is self published, so they would just be suing him right?


On point B: If it didn't happen how much mud could be slung really?
