George Steinbrenner is an anti-sportsman. The owner of the New York
Yankees makes a public statement while his team has been backed into a
corner and is fighting desperately to keep their season alive.
Steinbrenner kvetches that he will fire his manager, Joe Torre, if the
Yankees don't pull through and win the World Series. When the last out
goes down, when the fat lady has indeed sung, then an owner does what
he wants with his money. It's his team and, fair or unfair, the manager
often takes the hit for a losing season. But the fat lady hadn't
sung yet...
