New York Sues To Keep Yankees At Home For 1983
Manhattan Supreme Court issued a show cause order requiring the Yankees and owner George Steinbrenner to appear after the city filed suit to prevent playing the 1983 home opener or other home games in Denver. Parks Commissioner Gordon Davis said Steinbrenner admitted plans to move games, while the lease requires all home games be played in the Bronx except for postponements or unplayable fields. The city says construction delays could reduce seats but will finish in time for the opener.
