ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Lawyers for the New York Yankees are due back in court to argue against providing a host of team business records subpoenaed by state lawmakers looking into public financing for the team's new Bronx stadium.

Assemblymen Richard Brodsky, a Westchester Democrat, and James Brennan, a Brooklyn Democrat, are questioning $4 billion in public-supported financing the Yankees got to build the new ballpark, where they say ticket prices have been hiked beyond the reach of many taxpayers.

The team's lawyers say producing the documents would be expensive, that the issue was fully aired at various public proceedings and Brodsky is harassing them.

State Supreme Court Justice John Egan Jr., who heard arguments last month, set the hearing Monday.
