Hank Steinbrenner
George Steinbrenner is a legend. No owner in sports history is more famous and has more championships than George Steinbrenner. However, in the past year, George gave the team (the New York Yankees if you live in a hole) to his son Hank. Hank is known as being spoiled, fat, obnoxious, and a “moron.” (I watch too much ESPN not to throw that last one in there… Michael Wilbon hates Hank Steinbrenner). When he first started as the Yankees owner, I didn’t think much of it. Since then, many things have happened. First he called the Yankee pitching coaches “idiots” for not putting Joba Chamberlain in the starting rotation earlier. Then he got pissed at the National League for having their pitchers bat when Chien-Ming Wang injured himself running the bases in an interleague game. However, as dumb as both of those are, Hank Steinbrenner has set a new record for stupidest things said by ANYONE. When talking about Rays fans in Tampa Bay, Hank said that “it was almost to the point of arrogance.” He also warned them that things could change quick. First off, Rays fans should be arrogant. They have the best record in the American League (which apparently is Hank’s favorite league), and since they’ve sucked so bad before this, they should celebrate. Also, Hank was talking as if he had experience. Three year old babies know more about sports than he does. Let me tell you something, Mr. Hank Steinbrenner, the only thing changing is that your Yankees are in third place; third place teams don’t make the playoffs. I love listening to this guy talk, so I’m gonna give him a break (his first break since his lunch break). He’s the most interesting thing on the team since Derek Jeter dated movie stars.
