High and Outside

Former Yankees catcher Jim Leyritz, whose heroics led the team to win the 1996 World Series, was arrested yesterday and charged with DUI manslaughter and DUI property damage after he crashed his 2006 Ford Expedition into a 2000 Mitsubishi Montero at a Fort Lauderdale intersection, killing the driver who was thrown from the vehicle. Witnesses said Leyritz ran a red light. Broward County officers reported that the ballplayer had watery eyes, a flushed face, smelled of liquor, failed a roadside sobriety test, was generally uncooperative, and refused to take either a Breathalyzer or blood test. Leyritz, who's admitted to using amphetamines and steroids in the past, was released from Broward County Jail after posting $11,000 bond. (New York Times)
