Brad Hamilton has an interview with Hank Steinbrenner. "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.
