Failed minor leaguer that blames Derek Jeter sues Yankees and loses

Did you know that you can be really bad at your job, never advance because of your inadequacies and still attempt to sue your former employer because it’s all their fault?! As ludicrous as this sounds, it’s precisely what former Yankees minor leaguer Garrison Lassiter tried and failed to do in a court of law.

In the lawsuit dismissed last May, Lassiter, who never playing above High-A, claims that because Derek Jeter was afraid of competition and essentially ran the organization, the Yankees prevented him from achieving his maximum ability and reaching the major leagues.
