Miami Herald - Steve Lyons says it ''has been a struggle to move on financially and emotionally'' since his dismissal from Fox during last year's American League Championship Series. After a reference was made to co-analyst Lou Piniella's Hispanic heritage, Piniella spoke in Spanish briefly, and Lyons said, ''I don't understand him and I don't want to sit too close to him.'' Later, Lyons joked that his wallet had been stolen.
Though Lyons insisted the comment had nothing to do with Piniella's heritage, Fox immediately dumped him. Three years earlier, Lyons said then-Dodgers outfielder Shawn Green sat out a game on the Jewish holiday Yom Kippur ``for the heritage, and not the religion.''
