Staff Keeping Away Staph

The dangers of staph infections are not lost on the Yankees personnel. Newsday reports that the Yankees have been proactive in being sure the new Stadium is properly cleaned and remains that way.

"Of course they want to protect their investments, but they also want to minimize any bacterial infection anywhere in the new stadium to protect the fans," said Craig Andrews, CEO of CSG Sportscoatings. "They are the most proactive of any organization in Major League Baseball in protecting their facilities for players and fans."

Mets catcher Brian Schneider and Blue Jays outfielder Alex Rios both had serious staph infections this past season and several NFL teams have been affected by the issue as well.
