Would Steinbrenner have been that engaged and inspired to fight off San Francisco and San Diego if the fans hadn’t let him know what they thought?
to fight off San Francisco and San Diego if the fans hadn’t let him know what they thought of his leadership, or lack thereof? If I had to put twenty bucks on it, I’d say The Bronx would be in crisis mode today while a big bash was being thrown somewhere in California.
Yankees fans should take a bow for that, really. Just like all other fans in all other sports, they get taken for granted. They get fleeced for a good seat at the Stadium, and get charged $55 to park for a playoff game, and get neglected during an endless rain delay, among other things. The payoff, for Yankees fans, is supposed to be consistent title contention fueled by an ownership too hungry for parades to fret over fiscal restraint.
But the Yanks have failed to reach the World Series for 13 consecutive years, and Hal Steinbrenner has failed to convince his customers that he has his father’s stomach for the fight. “That’s my job every year, to make sure we’re financially responsible,” he said before the season. “We’ve got a lot of partners and banks and bond holders and things that I answer to.
Only this time, it doesn’t look coincidental. From a distance, Vincent said he’s admired the way Hal Steinbrenner has conducted himself. Though he reminded that the same Boss he threw out of the sport was capable of profound acts of generosity, the former commissioner said Hal “seems to me to be, excuse the phrase, a lot classier than his father. His father was a very complicated man.
He listened. The common man and woman reached out and forced a reluctant baseball baron to act. So if Aaron Judge helps the Yankees book a ticker-tape parade, a full contingent of fans will belong on that lead float.
