SPORTSbyBROOKS.com blogged an article that stated Yankees owner George Steinbrenner’s health is dramatically failing.
In an (unauthorized) brief visit with the turtlenecked-one, Lidz writes of Steinbrenner: “His body is bloated; his jawline has slackened into a triple chin; his skin looks as if a dry-cleaner bag has been stretched over it. Steinbrenner’s face, pale and swollen, has a curiously undefined look. His features seem frozen in a permanent rictus of careworn disbelief.”
It’s no secret Steinny’s health has been poor for a few years now, but it appears that it’s getting extremely serious. But the speculation of the Yankees being on sale is just that right now, speculation. However, eyebrows were raised after the YES Network – Steinbrenner’s cash cow cable association – was put up for sale. Speculation or not, Steinbrenner won’t be the Yankees owner forever, so the question is: will the next owner of the Yankees be as free-wheeling spending wise as Steinbrenner has been? Yankee fans love it, but the rest of baseball followers curse their ever continuous spending as much as they curse the ground Barry Bonds walks on. Can anyone envision Mark Cuban – who’s in the mix to be the next Cubs owner – taking over in the Bronx? Holy crap.
