Yankees Notes

A-ROD'S BUYING A CONDO

3B Alex Rodriguez has bought a condo.  There was mass speculation as to where and when he would purchase the coveted condo (it's on the Upper West Side).  Principles involved in the transaction declined to discuss terms of the deal.

A-Rod's search for a new home was real estate gossip in New York for months.

HANK BLAMES JETER

Owner Hank Steinbrenner has blamed SS Derek Jeter for the team's loss in last year's ALCS to the Texas Rangers.  Steinbrenner made a reference to players being "too focused on building mansions" in regards to the Yankees loss; many people took this to mean Jeter who just completed a mansion on the Davis Islands, in Florida.  The mansion has been called St. Jetersburg by residents of the St. Petersburg-Tampa area.

Jeter angered neighbors by building a six-foot-fence which completely surrounded the property.  He enters the 2011 season after completing difficult negotiations with the team.
