Rudy at the Bat: Giuliani fights to save his Yankees World Series rings from $148 million verdict

As Rudy Giuliani’s life gets stripped for parts to satisfy a $148 million defamation verdict, the former New York City mayor is fighting to keep one gleaming set of sports memorabilia in the family: Yankees World Series rings bestowed to him by the team’s late owner, George Steinbrenner. Giuliani is a lifelong Bronx Bombers fan. He contends that the rings commemorating four championships won during his five years as mayor now belong to his son and shouldn’t be given up. In sworn testimony made public Monday ahead of a pair of key court dates, Giuliani described the 1990s rings as something of a family heirloom and Yankees good-luck charm.
