Driven Away

Swindal Out as the Man Who Would be King

It's been a tough couple of months for George Steinbrenner's son-in-law, Steve Swindal. First, he was busted for DUI down in Florida. Now he is, in all likelihood, no longer the heir apparent to George. Yesterday, Jenny Steinbrenner Swindal filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

George's mouth, Howard Rubenstein made things quite clear. Rubenstein stated that Steinbrenner is still running the team and it will remain in the family. When queried whether or not Swindal was still considered family, Rubenstein replied, "they're getting divorced". 'Nuff said.

George's two sons, Hank and Hal, have never shown the compunction to run the Bombers. Another son-in-law, Felix Lopez, is currently a senior VP.

Perhaps YES will run a new reality show to choose George's successor.
