Hank Steinbrenner is All Business



New York Yankees co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner had a little something to say regarding his team's social lives on Monday:
I think, maybe, they celebrated too much last year. Some of the players, too busy building mansions and doing other things and not concentrating on winning. I have no problem saying that... maybe they were riding the wave of '09 a little too much, and it happens sometimes.
Then he went on a separate rant about the needed changes with baseball's revenue sharing and luxury tax programs:
At some point, if you don’t want to worry about teams in minor markets, don’t put teams in minor markets, or don’t leave teams in minor markets if they’re truly minor. Socialism, communism, whatever you want to call it, is never the answer.
Thanks for sharing, Hank.

A year without a world series is a year as a complete failure.
