The AP reports that Ed Kranepool is suing Long Island Jewish Medical Center for illegally using his name and image in mailings that were soliciting donations. According to the AP:

Hospital officials say Kranepool enthusiastically agreed to be featured in the newsletter, but acknowledged they didn’t have his permission for the direct mailing.

Kranepool had received shoulder surgery at the hospital earlier in the year. For the younger readers out there, Ed Kranepool spent 18 years with the Mets, was a member of the 69 World Series team, and is the all time leader for hits (1418), games (1853), and doubles (225).

Illegally using Eddie Kranepool…is nothing sacred anymore?
