Bronx Borough president Ruben Diaz Jr. announced Friday morning that the New York Yankees have agreed to a deal with Bronx businesses that will permit merchants to legally sell official Yankees T-shirts, caps and other merchandise.
"I am pleased to learn that the New York Yankees, Nike and Major League Baseball were receptive to public pressure to do the right thing, and have heeded the concerns of our business community in the area surrounding Yankee Stadium," Diaz said. "The news that these three entities have reversed their policy that would have prevented these longtime mom-and-pop stores from selling official Yankee merchandise is a welcome one.
In an Oct. 30 letter to Nike CEO Mark Parker, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred and Yankees president Randy Levine, Diaz urged reconsideration of a recently announced deal between MLB and Nike that would have prevented vendors in the vicinity of Yankee Stadium to sell official team merchandise.
