News Inferno: Yankee Fan Sues Over Major League Baseball Scandal
Matthew Mitchell (no relation to the Senator), a 30-year-old Brooklyn resident and paralegal, claims the Major League Baseball steroid scandal amounts to consumer fraud. Now, he is suing the New York Yankees to recover the costs of tickets to five games he attended between 2002 and 2007. They include Game 2 of the 2003 World Series, in which pitcher Andy Pettitte led the Yankees to a win, as well as another played on June 8, 2002, where Mitchell watched San Francisco Giants star Barry Bonds hit one of the longest home runs he had ever seen in Yankee Stadium.
Because the outcomes of those games could have been influenced by the use of steroids and other banned substances, Mitchell believes the costs of tickets should be refunded by the Yankees.
I’m preparing a lawsuit to get my money back for any games that Felix Heredia (The Run Fairy™ ), Juan Acevedo, and Wayne Franklin pitched.
