Baseball, apple pie and Chevrolet? Nope. Not when it comes to the New York Yankees. General Motors Corp. won’t be the automotive sponsor for the American icon when its new stadium opens next year. Yankees chief operating officer Lonn Trost said Tuesday that Toyota and Audi will take over as the club’s auto sponsors. The new deals are for ballpark signage, as was the previous contract with General Motors, a Yankees sponsor from 2006-08. “We understand their financial condition,” Trost said. “I think it was a mutual understanding.”
