- <p> HIS NUMBER WAS UP. The truck in which ex-Yankee skipper
- Billy Martin was killed last week bore the license plate
- VR3569. Two days later, after a photograph of the tag was
- published by Gotham tabloids, so many people selected 3569 in
- the New York State Win-4 lottery that by noon lottery-machine
- operators had to suspend play on those numbers.
