The Sommer Frieze

…Son of the Old Boss.

Owners today unanimously appproved Hal Steinbrenner as new owner of the Yanks. We have always felt that while Hank shoots off his mouth, the real power behind the throne is Hal. And that’s probably a good thing.

I like Hal’s quote about his dad….a tough act to follow. And as we’ve seen, Hal is not like his dad. Hank is.

Meanwhile it seems like George, the old soldier, is fading away…. Will he be in the Bronx for the opening of the New Stadium? After all, he wasn’t there for the closing of the old one.
