Bronx Tenant Nabbed Stiffing Landlord; Agrees To Cough Up $11M In Back Rent

In New York City, the New York Post reports:
  • The New York Yankees have agreed to fork over $11 million to the city in back rent - money the team probably would have preferred to spend on an ace starting pitcher for next season. The team underpaid the city the equivalent of Mike Mussina's salary between 2003 and 2006, according to an audit by City Comptroller William Thompson.
