A different kind of (pin)stripes

I'm guessing if you're a minor-leaguer with the Yankees, and you're trying to impress the club, the best way to do so isn't to get arrested at 2:30 a.m. at a bar and restaurant after trying to start a fight and resisting a bouncer trying to get you to leave. According to Tampa police, New York minor-leaguer Austin Krum is "charged with trespassing and obstructing cops after he pulled away when officers moved to arrest him, forcing them to push him down to cuff him."

If only the kid was born 30 years ago, Billy Martin probably would have had him in the starting rotation by now. And have punched his lights out in a bar.

The New York Post (your source of record for players getting arrested at bars) points out that the bar in question was the same place where the 2006 Miss Nevada USA Katie Rees had certain unseemly and awesome photos taken of her that lead to being stripped of her crown.

Which, of course, gives me an excuse to link to said photos (not safe for work). She's the one in red. If this is what this bar is like, no wonder the guy didn't want to leave.
