No, not that one.

Steve Serby from the New York Post recently sat down with the new voice of the Yankees -- Hank Steinbrenner -- for a little one on one.  Several nicknames have been kicked around for The Boss' oldest boy -- Hammerin' Hank, George Jr., The Marlboro Man, etc., but I think Boy George is my clear-cut favorite.  I don't remember which paper gave it to him first, the Daily News or the Post, but it works on so many levels!

Anyway, if you didn't catch the article (it's a few days old) give it a read.  Hank isn't shy and he has some interesting comments.

Examples:

Q: What's it been like being George Steinbrenner's oldest son?

A: When I was a kid, we didn't have a lot of money. There were a couple of times he was even bankrupt, which is well-documented. When I was a kid, it was a basic middle-class upbringing in Bay Village, Ohio, before he started making big money. I also worked at the farm, having been in horse racing since I was 13 - mucking stalls, baling hay, that stuff.

Q: Fay Vincent's suspension of your father?

A: I was surprised. I didn't agree with it, I can tell you that, not just because he's my dad. I didn't think it was called for.

Q: What did you think of the portrayal of your father in "The Bronx Is Burning?"

A: I really like Oliver Platt, I think he's a really good actor; I don't know if that's the role for him.

Hank also goes on to talk about horse racing, Billy Martin and cigarettes.

Good stuff.

Vinny from Kearny suggested that Hank's loose lips may be an attempt to deflect attention away from his old man.  It's quite possible, but George's mouthpiece Howard Rubenstein still has a job so The Boss may still have a statement or two left in his bones.  Also, I think Hank has acquired a taste for reading his quotes in the papers.

Anyway, it should be interesting to read what Boy George has to say once the season rolls around.
