New Jork Yankees World Series King Leyritz kills a peasant after a back
slapping night at the saloon.

Cops released the hero from jail after posting a few dollars bail so he
could hurry home for a few shots from the hair of the dog.

Yankees hero Jim Leyritz blew a red light and killed a young mother in a car
wreck while stinking drunk on birthday booze, Florida police said Friday.

The retired major leaguer balked at breath and blood tests for alcohol -
even after being told that the other driver, 30-year-old Fredia Ann Veitch,
was dead, Fort Lauderdale cops said.

Veitch, who has a 13-year-old and a 5-year-old, was returning to her
Plantation, Fla., home after working a late shift as a bartender at a
steakhouse.

Investigators who charged Leyritz with manslaughter said he was clearly
drunk, citing his "red watery eyes, flushed face and the odor of an
alcoholic beverage."

Leyritz stumbled, couldn't follow instructions from cops, and missed three
of six attempts to touch his nose with his finger, police said.
