Yankees draw more jeers in Boston for crossing hotel picket line

The New York Yankees are drawing boos in some corners of Boston, but not for their bitter rivalry to the Red Sox.

Yankees players were seen crossing a labor union picket line in front of the downtown Ritz-Carlton Hotel on Thursday. The team faces the Red Sox in a playoff series starting Friday night.

Brian Lang, president of Local 26 of Unite Here, called Yankees players "scabs" and urged striking hotel workers to chant "Yankees Suck" on Friday.

This is our town. Boston @Marriott hotel workers are on strike and @Yankees crossed the picket line.
