Stop It!
Where do stories like this one about George Steinbrenner come from? They come from somebody in the Yankees' organization who wants to create the illusion that George is still a part of the team. A better question is why does somebody want to create this illusion?
It doesn't matter what anyone has to say about George or his health, everything you needed to know about him was revealed last Wednesday when the Yankees won the World Series and he watched from Tampa. Healthy George is in that locker room or at least watching the game from the owner's box. But, the Yankees just celebrated their first World Series title since 1962 without George being part of the party and that tells me he is in a bad way.
I wrote about George at length in March 2008 and my feelings haven't changed. Whatever you think of him, it would be better if he were left alone to live out his life in private. The problem is, somebody in the Yankees' organization doesn't want to let him do that.
