Steinbrenner: Let's Win It For The Fans
slidingintohome.blogspot.com 23 days ago — Steve Serby was able to land an exclusive interview with George Steinbrenner, via his spokesman Howard Rubenstein.

Steve Serby's Q&A; with George Steinbrenner
yanksblog.com 23 days ago — Steve Serby has a Q&A with George Steinbrenner. Of course, it's through his spokesperson Howard Rubenstein, so it's kind of like a series of issued statements. But, nonetheless, it's an interesting read and the Boss shines through.
Where was that strike zone last night?
talkingsmackaboutsports.blogspot.com 21 days ago — Here's a good example of some awful sports writing: What if I told you the New York Yankees are ruining this World Series? What if I said that Andy Pettitte has as many hits as Mark Teixeira? Or that CC Sabathia has as many pitching wins as George Steinbrenner? And yet, incredibly, the ...

I.
I had the chance to wander around outside of Yankee Stadium for an hour or so before Game Six. I’ll use clichés to describe the atmosphere: you could cut the tension with a knife, the air was electric (the crowd was buzzing), hearts were aflutter, and a lot of people were drunk.

Not the American Dream, but Give Yankees Props —
FanHouse
by Jay Mariotti NEW YORK -- There is something arrogantly American about it, I know. The $210-million Yankees have won a World Series amid a destructive recession, doing it for Boss George Steinbrenner in the first season of their $1.5-billion edifice of excess, where a $275-million lightning ...
One for the Boss —
The LoHud Yankees Blog
George Steinbrenner was not in the $1.5-billion house he built tonight as the Yankees won their 27th World Series, the one he sought ever since that Game 7 loss to the Diamondbacks in 2001. His absence did not go unnoticed to either his family or people on the field.
“It was very weird, ...
Game 6: Thoughts From The Commute —
Baseball Nerd
Two things popped into my Big Empty Head in route: anybody remember George Steinbrenner's last great personnel gasp? His insistence that the Yankees trade Andy Pettitte because he just wasn't tough enough in the critical games? This, as I recall, was in. 1999 and the deal was supposed to send ...

Shutdown Corner
In 1995, Malcolm Glazer outbid George Steinbrenner (marking the last recorded instance of a Steinbrenner outbid) for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers . Glazer paid a then-record $192 million for the team, which sounds like relative chump change now. Forbes recently valued the Bucs at $1.085 billion, ...

FanHouse
by Terence Moore NEW YORK -- This was a lousy way for the New York Yankees to hug somebody they supposedly love.
You had their listless ways at the plate. Then, if you combine that with a couple of mindless pitches by CC Sabathia and a shoddy bullpen, they spent Wednesday night at Yankee ...
Steinbrenner State of Mind —
Diamond Hoggers
We've talked to some Yankee fans who are closer to the whole situation then we are; and by closer we mean they're from Connecticut. They seem to agree with us when we say we get the feeling that George Steinbrenner isn't doing so well health-wise. Sad but probably true, as a baseball fan who ...
