Bobby Gonzalez may be headed back to a court. Just not the basketball kind. The Millburn (N.J.) Police Department charged the former Seton Hall coach with shoplifting and criminal mischief Monday for the alleged theft of a $1,395 men's satchel from the Polo Ralph Lauren store in the Short Hills Mall. The police say the satchel was taken out of the store June 29, but Gerry Krovatin, Mr. Gonzalez's attorney, said the incident was "a misunderstanding and a series of miscommunications." Mr. Gonzalez, who also formerly coached Manhattan, was fired in March, the day after one of his Seton Hall players was ejected from what would be the Pirates' last game of the season for punching an opposing player below the belt. The coach himself was assessed his seventh technical foul of the year for arguing. He is suing the university, alleging breach of contract.

Cano Gets a Chance To Take His Hacks
In the midst of a breakout season, Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano will participate in the home-run derby for the first time. Mr. Cano was tied for 10th in the American League with 16 home runs going into Tuesday's game against the Athletics. He'll compete next week, a day before the All-Star Game, against Detroit's Miguel Cabrera, Boston's David Ortiz, Toronto's Vernon Wells, Milwaukee's Corey Hart, St. Louis's Matt Holliday and two other players who have yet to be announced.

'Get Off My Mound' Proves Popular
The Yankees had some fun with the Alex Rodriguez-Dallas Braden saga Monday when players gathered in the trainer's room in the visiting clubhouse at the Oakland Coliseum. When Mr. Rodriguez walked in, Robinson Cano emerged wearing a "Get Off My Mound" T-shirt. The ensuing laughter could be heard throughout the clubhouse. The Athletics started selling the shirts recently to cash in on the ballyhooed feud between the Yankees third baseman and the Oakland pitcher, though Mr. Braden told reporters he objected to the shirts. Mr. Rodriguez was more amused by them, saying, "I hope I get a cut" of the profits.
