Humility Runs in the Steinbrenner Family

We HEART doing this kind of post! You know, the kind when someone make a complete and total horse’s posterior of themselves without any help. Case in point: New York Yankees owner Hank Steinbrenner, who proves in the following quote that

(a) He is as much of a jerk, and possibly more so, than his ol’ man George;

(b) Quotes like this are the reason people love to hate the Yankees; and

(c) The Yanks are a smidge bitter about the Red Sox “reversing the curse” in recent years.

Straight from the mouth of the ass . . . Oops, wrong animal! We meant horse:

“Red Sox Nation?” What a bunch of [expletive] that is,” he said in an interview with The New York Times’ Play magazine. “That was a creation of the Red Sox and ESPN, which is filled with Red Sox fans. . . . Go anywhere in America and you won’t see Red Sox hats and jackets, you’ll see Yankee hats and jackets. This is a Yankee country. We’re going to put the Yankees back on top and restore the universe to order.”

A Yankee country? No one’s called it that since the Union won the Civil War. Even Steinbrenner Sr. isn’t old enough to remember those days. (We think).
