George no longer has the final say in Yankee Universe 

Post#1 » by VinnyTheMick » Sun Oct 14, 2007 11:08 am

The Steinbrenner boys have taken the reins, Yankees brass has told The Post.

Hank and Hal Steinbrenner will share leadership of father George's beloved Bronx Bombers in an arrangement to be further ironed out at top-level meetings in Tampa this week.

"George has taken on a role like the chairman of a major corporation," said team president Randy Levine. "He's been saying for years he's wanted to get his sons involved in the family business. Both of them have stepped up and are taking on the day-to-day duties of what's required to run the Yankees."

"There's always been a succession - and that's myself and my brother," Hank told The Post in an exclusive interview.

He said he and Hal will have final say on baseball decisions as well as the running of the YES Network and the construction of the new Yankee Stadium.

"I'll pay more attention to the baseball part. The stadium, that's more Hal. But basically everything will be decided jointly."

Isn't this how the Blackhawks demise started?

No problem, though. After seeing the contract offer they made to Joe Torre, we know that buffoonery runs in the family. The tradition will endure.

I mean, what did they think Torre was going to say to that offer? "Yes"?

I blame Randy Levine more than George's sons. If Randy wanted Joe back, he'd be back.

The Blackhawks are okay in my book.
I really don't like hockey but I love heading out to 1-2 Blackhawk games a year.

I love to hate George, but it's going to be double the fun hating both Hank and Hal.
