A Pennsylvania man who worked as the mascot for a Yankees minor league team claims his former employer violated worker protection laws.
Brian Bonner was laid off last month from his job as Champ.
He's suing the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees, New York's Triple-A club, claiming they improperly classified him as a manager to avoid paying him overtime.
The suit says his title was "marketing and community relations manager" but he performed no supervisory tasks besides his mascot and community relations duties.
