Carl Yastrzemski victim of ID theft--loses arb to MBNA

[bw4444]

Get this. Carl Yastrzemski's son stole his ID and ran up the credit on the elder Yaz. (In case you don't know who Yaz is, ask anyone who has ever been to Boston.) The younger Yaz died from surgery complications and left the elder with loads of problems.

Of course, MBNA did its best to understand the situation and slugged it out with former Red Sox slugger and won in arbitration. Ain't arbitration wonderful?

I bet the collectors who worked this case felt damned proud of themselves.

I think it's more the judge who had his head up his robe when he ordered a victim of ID theft to pay.

What were the details that caused the arbitrator to decide against Yaz?

Yaz is one of the greatest players in baseball.
