What does this mean to you? How will the Yankees be different under Hal?

    I don't think that you will see much of a change in Yankee World with George stepping down. He's the Al Davis and Jerry Jones of MLB. He might not be as visible but he will still run the show. I guarantee you that!!!

        I think it's got to be a kick in the head to Steve Swindell, who was with the orginization for so long. He gets on little DUI & boom, he's gone like yesterday's news.

          George sure did some pretty bad things back in the day.Stuff that I was ashamed of as a Yankee fan and he paid for it.

          Every major league player should thank George for what hew did for them.

          George is ill its sad to see him that way but what is sadder is some people who make fun of him

            George is the second worst owner in major league baseball history.  Only Walter O'Malley

            did more to ruin the game.  George turned a sport into GM.  While O'Malley was a greedy bastard, George was a psycho win at all cost and damn the consequenes.   They both will be residing together in hell if my prayers are answered.
