| | Full Ownership by the Yankees Could Be Just What a Minor-League Team Needs - New York Times |
 | | The Yankees, who own a minority share of their minor-league affiliate on Staten Island, are buying out the majority owners, with plans to turn management of the financially underperforming franchise over to a company run by Peter Guber, the veteran Hollywood producer, according to city officials and baseball executives. |
 | | He said he hoped that under “a more professional management team,” the Staten Island club could be as successful as the Brooklyn Cyclones, a New York Mets affiliate that draws much bigger crowds to a city-owned stadium in Coney Island. |
 | | Neither Stanley Getzler, the principal owner of the Staten Island Yankees, nor his son Joshua, who is the chief operating officer, responded to repeated requests for comment. |
