RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted October 13, 2006 I will leave the flying stuff to the guys and gals who have devoted their lives and education to it thank you. As will I, but if thats what they want to do, then im all for it. Just because someone is a professional athlete doesnt mean they're lives should be limited. dont some contracts limit certain avtivities like motorcycles? Most do have clauses about what players can (and can't) do with respect to off season/recreational activities... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LkptTiger 1 Report post Posted October 13, 2006 ...the one that comes to mind immediately would be Aaron Boone - I believe he had a "no basketball" clause in his contract which he violated while with the Yanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JR Boucicaut 3802 Report post Posted October 13, 2006 After Munson's death every Yankee contract has a "no-flying" clause. Apparently Cashman never knew Lidle was a pilot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nyhockey6 1 Report post Posted October 13, 2006 Lidle didn't sign the contract with the Yankees though. Not like Cashman didn't know about it when he looked at the contract before making the trade, but it wasn't worked up by the Yankees. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drewhunz 3 Report post Posted October 13, 2006 Apparently the apartment he crashed into belonged to the lady that sued the city of New York when a streetlight fell on her head at the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade a few years ago.Prayers to Lidle's family.

Not like Cashman didn't know about it when he looked at the contract before making the trade, but it wasn't worked up by the Yankees. Lidle's contract with the Phillies had a clause that said he didn't get paid if injured in a plane. All Phillies contracts do.Also, the Yankees (when its their contract) have a list an entire page long of what players cannot do. The list even includes bowling. Might seem a bit crazy, but thats the give and take when you hit the jackpot contract-wise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
