    Luis Arroyo, a left-handed relief pitcher who was a member of the Yankees' 1961 and 1962 World Championship teams, suffered a "mild heart attack" while on a Yankees-sponsored cruise Friday night, according to a team spokesman.

    Arroyo, 73, was said to be resting comfortably in a New York area hospital, although Yankees officials could not provide his condition nor which hospital he was in. According to several former players who were on the cruise, part of the Yankees Old-Timers' weekend festivities, Arroyo became ill on the boat and was removed to a hospital.

    During the Old-Timers' Day ceremony, a statement was read from the Arroyo family expressing disappointment and regret at Luis' absence from the event.
