Our Pal Hal

Steve Swindal's misfortune has turned into Hal Steinbrenner's opportunity. Swindal, King George's son-in law, is officially on the outs after a DUI this past Spring and a divorce from Jennifer Steinbrenner. Hal Steinbrenner, 38, has been selected as the chairman of the board of Yankees Global Enterprises LLC, the holding company for the team and the Yankees Entertainment & Sports Network.

While King George has never named a successor to the throne, this is a pretty good indicator of just who that person will be.

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.

George Won't Like That

Steve Swindal, son-in-law of George Steinbrenner and heir to the throne to head the Yankees was arrested early Thursday morning for driving while impaired. Swindal was driving 61 mph in a 35 mph zone in St. Petersburg, when his careless driving nearly caused a collision with a local cop. Swindal refused a breathalyzer test and failed a sobriety test. He was booked on DUI charges and will have to appear in court on March 13.

The only amusing part of this story is when 1050 ESPN radio reported this as a "distraction" to the Yankees spring training. About as distracting as George Constanza running around the outfield as "Bodysuit Man".
