David Ortz Sued By Memoriabilia Company

Associated Press - A sports memorabilia company sued Red Sox star David Ortiz for $1 million Friday, claiming he breached a contract by failing to autograph a required number of items and appear at "meet-and-greet'' events. Steiner Sports Marketing Inc. of New Rochelle, N.Y., said the company signed Ortiz to a contract to autograph 13,000 items, appear at public signing events, and to do these things exclusively for Steiner until Jan. 31, 2008. "Ortiz has constantly remained substantially below the amount of memorabilia items required to be signed under the agreement,'' according to the lawsuit filed in Manhattan's state Supreme Court.
