Yankees hate old-timers

A senior-citizen waiter claims a Yankee official pitched him a curve when he interviewed for a job.
"What could someone 73 years old offer the Yankees?" the man says he was asked.
He's one of 13 waiters ranging in age from 66 to 80 who were laid off when the old Yankee Stadium closed and who were turned down when they re-applied at the new ballpark.
The men -- who for decades worked at the old park -- are suing, maintaining they were replaced by younger workers who get paid less. They say all they want is their jobs back -- and back pay for the season they missed.
