George Steinbrenner Dies While Telling Sons Secret To Running Yankees

TAMPA, FL—While on his deathbed in his Tampa home, Yankees owner George Steinbrenner ordered his hospice nurse out of the room, motioned for his sons Hal and Hank to come closer, and began whispering the generations-old secret to making the Yankees a winning ballclub before abruptly dying mid-speech. “He just said, ’All you have to do to ensure the continued success of the Yankee franchise is…is…yell… at…’ and then he was gone,” Hank Steinbrenner told reporters Monday morning. “I kept banging his chest and screaming ’Yell at who?! Who are we supposed to yell at? Wake up, you old bastard!’ but it was too late. We did, however, find this mysterious golden amulet in his pocket…but that can’t be it, can it? Can it?” He then announced plans to fire every employee in the company one by one until the Yankees return to first place.
