Yankees’ Jazz Chisholm Jr. off the hook for tweet-related suspension: source

If his unimpeded presence in the Yankees’ lineup had not made it clear already, Jazz Chisholm Jr. is no longer facing a one-game suspension for the mid-game, post-ejection tweet he sent on April 17.

Chisholm made it clear that he planned to appeal that suspension after Major League Baseball announced it on April 18. As part of the appeal process, he had a meeting planned for this past Thursday. But Chisholm told the Daily News that he never participated in such a meeting.

“They were just like, ‘There’s no suspension guys,’” the second baseman said Sunday morning. “I think they talked to my agent.

“I don’t know. You’re literally asking the worst person.”

Asked for clarification, Chisholm’s agent did not immediately respond. However, a league source told The News that there was an appeal hearing scheduled for Thursday, but Chisholm and MLB reached a settlement agreement.

That arrangement ended the appeal process, rescinded the suspension, and maintained a $5,000 fine, which was part of Chisholm’s initial discipline.

The league punished Chisholm because he wrote “Not even f–king close” on X from inside the Yankees’ clubhouse moments after home plate umpire John Bacon tossed him for arguing balls and strikes in the midst of an April 17 win over the Rays.

While the second baseman later deleted the post at the recommendation of a friend, the official major league players social media policy states that the use of electronics is prohibited during games. The policy also prohibits social media conduct that could be considered “displaying or transmitting content that questions the impartiality of or otherwise denigrates a Major League umpire.”

On April 19, Chisholm said he felt there was a gray area because he was no longer in the game. MLB’s policy doesn’t mention any exceptions for players who are ejected or no longer in the game, yet Chisholm managed to avoid a one-game ban.

“I feel like we should be able to say whatever we want to say,” Chisholm added on April 19. “At the end of the day, it’s a lash out. So it probably won’t happen again.”

Mobbed-up Long Island cop staged fake raid at rival ‘Sal the Shoemaker’ gambling parlor: feds

A mobbed-up Nassau cop working behind-the-scenes for the Bonanno crime family staged a fake raid to shut down a gambling parlor run by rival Genovese gangster Salvatore “Sal the Shoemaker” Rubino, federal prosecutors charge in new court filings. Now-fired Nassau County Police Department Detective Hector Rosario allegedly had a side gig working for the Bonanno crime family — and the Bonannos considered Rubino’s gambling den in his Merrick, L.I. shop, Sal’s Shoe Repair, the competition, the feds say. So in 2013 or 2014, two Bonanno members paid Rosario to shut the place down and Rosario got to work, according to a January filing by federal prosecutors. The two Bonannos who gave the order are expected to sing at Rosario’s trial in Brooklyn Federal Court next month. Neither are named in the court filings. One of the informants, a Bonanno associate, is expected to testify he was in the room when Rosario and his “associates” barged into Rubino’s shoe repair shop, broke one of the gamb...

Unclaimed Funds Archive

What are unclaimed property and unclaimed funds? Perhaps you forgot to cash a check, overpaid a bill, or didn’t know you were the beneficiary of a long-lost relative’s life insurance policy. There are many reasons why you may be owed money and not be aware of it. That is why banks, insurance companies, courts, corporations, and other organizations are required by law to attempt to notify you by mail and publish information regarding unclaimed property in the newspaper. What happens to unclaimed property? Organizations have between one and five years to try to reunite account holders with their property, depending on the state and industry. After that “dormancy period,” the funds are turned over to the state. The NY State Comptroller will hold on to unclaimed funds indefinitely, just waiting for you to file a claim. How to find lost money: Search for your name—and your family members’ names—in the unclaimed property and funds lists published in the New York Daily News, linked below...
