Attorney General James' Statement Urging MLB and Apple to Let More Fans Watch Tonight’s Potentially Historic Yankees Game

NEW YORK – New York Attorney General Letitia James today released the following statement urging Major League Baseball (MLB) and Apple to open up tonight’s game and let it play on the YES Network:

“History is in the making as Aaron Judge electrifies Yankees fans, and everyone who loves baseball. To deny millions of New Yorkers, and fans around the nation, the opportunity to watch as Aaron Judge steps up to the plate, is wrong and unfair. New Yorkers paid their cable bills expecting to see live sports programming. Now they are being asked to do extra if they want to watch this exciting home run chase, and potentially historic game. That is why I am calling on Apple and the MLB to reach a fair accommodation with the YES Network so that fans can watch what we all hope will be history made this evening.”
