A Tampa Police report says Patrick Daneker, a pitching coach for the Staten Island Yankees, said the ring was missing after he invited two women to a hotel room in the early hours of May 30. Two cell phones and $120 in cash also were reported missing.

The 34-year-old Daneker told officers he was ``extremely intoxicated'' and doesn't remember much of what happened after they got back to his room.

A second coach, Yankees minor league instructor Carlos Chantres, said Friday he was with Daneker when they met the women at a bar, but he did not return to the hotel with the three of them.

The Staten Island Yankees begin play on June 18. The team's website says the married Daneker has been the team's pitching coach since 2008. Daneker played briefly in the major leagues with the Chicago White Sox in 2000, pitching in three games. He also played in the Toronto and Chicago Cubs organizations.
