John Vendikos filed an age discrimination lawsuit against the New York Yankees for discharging him after 27 seasons with the organization. Mr. Vendikos, a 73 year old bartender at Yankees Stadium, was dismissed because of his age.

After 27 years as a bartender at the old New York Yankees stadium, he was forced to re-apply for his position at the new stadium. During his interview with the New York Yankees organization, he was asked “Why should I hire you? You’re an old man.”

After serving such Yankee legends as Joe DiMaggio, he thought the statement was a poor attempt at humor by the interviewer for the New York Yankees; however, he later found out that it was no joke.

John Vendikos astutely retained the services of Leeds Morelli & Brown, PC, New York age discrimination lawyers. Mr. Leeds, a partner attorney at the renowned employment law firm with extensive experience handling age discrimination claims, stated that what happened to Mr. Vendikos “is a textbook case of age discrimination.”
