Humbled Leyritz back in Bronx, making a buck where he can

But Leyritz can’t get into Yankee Stadium without a ticket now as he awaits his January trial for DUI manslaughter. As the teams took batting practice yesterday, he was seated at a folding table in front of Stan’s Sports World under the elevated tracks on River Avenue.

“I think a lot of people are hesitant because of the situation,” Leyritz said. “But I need to pay for the roof over my kids’ heads. It’s gone on for two years. I haven’t been able to work. I haven’t been able to do anything. I have custody of my three kids, and I have to provide a house and a home for them. Whatever I can do to make money, that’s what I’m doing.”

Leyritz went from Yankees legend to shunned outcast in December 2007, when prosecutors in Broward County, Fla., say he ran a red light, allegedly under the influence of alcohol, and crashed into the car of Fredia Veitch, a 30-year-old mother of two, killing her.

Leyritz says he believes recent developments in the case are working in his favor. “There’s a lot of things that are happening that slowly picks the case apart,” he said.
