NY Yankees: Subpoena will cost more than $5M
Posted By ap 7 months ago in SportsALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York Yankees officials say it would cost taxpayers more than $5 million if the team is forced to provide internal records sought by lawmakers looking into public financing of the club's new stadium.
Assemblymen Richard Brodsky, a Westchester Democrat, and James Brennan, a Brooklyn Democrat, are questioning nearly $4 billion in public-supported financing the Yankees got to build the new ballpark. They say many ticket prices have been hiked beyond the reach of fans.

The hearing is scheduled to continue later Monday.
