Considering the amount of public funds the enterprise has soaked up it seems obscene it can be considered an individual's property.

Hank will kill Hal in his sleep. This is almost biblical. Ahh, to be thus annointed.

Now he can focus on what really matters: his shipping empire.

Many other sports owners pocket their revenue and don't put in back into the team. Steinbrenner spend the money he made and did not save it.

JP ? Joe Torre had nothing to do with this, right?

Regardless of all his bullshit, still one of the BEST owners in MLB history. Since he has owned the team, the Yankees have been to 10 WS and won 6 of them. Some teams haven't had that many visits to the WS in a much longer time. And don't get me startd on the whole BS excuse that he 'bought' his teams - Steinbrenner worked within a system that was already in place and strived.

Say it ain't so George. Your sons don't know shit about shitting on the team like you did. Please George don't give up. One more winning season and then turn it over. Come on, the new stadium is almost finished and New Yorkers would really like to see you buried in center field. Hang in there George.
