Ah, good ol' Hank Steinbrenner in less than 6 or months or so of being in charge of the Yankees is now known for his mouth as much as good old dad, George. Giving his two cents on the Rays-Yankees dust-up, here's what he says...
From ESPN: This time, Yankees general partner Hank Steinbrenner took up the charge, reaffirming the front office's support of manager Joe Girardi, backing the players and making a comment that clearly was directed at the small-market Rays.
"I don't want these teams in general to forget who subsidizes a lot of them, and it's the Yankees, the Red Sox, Dodgers, Mets," he said to The New York Post. "I would prefer if teams want to target the Yankees that they at least start giving some of that revenue sharing and luxury tax money back. From an owner's point of view, that's my point."
