Talk about sore losers and sour grapes...
God love the Steinbrenners. I mean you have to love a filthy rich family complete with an iconic sports franchise who just seem to be a miserable bunch of JERKS. George raised the bar. Looks like the next generation is gonna be twice the fun - and he was good enough to fuel a recurring character on Seinfeld for years.
Seems Hank "Little Stein" Steinbrenner let loose on the very concept of Red Sox Nation in a recent interview:
"Red Sox Nation? What a bunch of [expletive] that is," he tells The New York Times' Play magazine. "That was a creation of the Red Sox and ESPN, which is filled with Red Sox fans.
"Go anywhere in America and you won't see Red Sox hats and jackets, you'll see Yankee hats and jackets. This is a Yankee country. We're going to put the Yankees back on top and restore the universe to order."
Gee. That's just the kind of bloated, belligerant arrogance that makes me root for the Sox and whoever's playing the Yankees. In fact, Go Mets! Here's hoping that when they sweep away the dust after the implosion of Yankee Stadium - love 'em or hate 'em, it is legend - the inarguable greatness that was the Yankees of yore will be swept away as well.
