Mac the Knife Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 It kinda flew under the radar here, but in the past few days the Yankees announced that...(1) Hal Steinbrenner has become chairman of Yankees Global Enterprises, LLC, the holding company that owns the franchise. This in effect signals the official end of the day-to-day reign of George Steinbrenner, though he'll obviously still be around; and(2) The new stadium will NOT take on the name of a corporate sponsor, opting instead for an arrangement probably similar to that of the Cleveland Browns with their stadium.Interesting. Seems like the family's starting to move toward keeping the club rather than selling it off due to George's illness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first part was also expected after George's daughter got divorced (her then husband was supposed to take control of the team). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
