Baseball: Steinbrenner should get the hell out!

If George Steinbrenner is being honest when he says the only thing he wants is for the Yankees to win the World Series, I know how he can achieve that goal: Leave.

Don't just get out of the way or pretend you're going to let your baseball people run your baseball team. Leave entirely. Quit. Retire. Go to Vanuatu or Moorea, pull up a palm tree, pour yourself a nice refreshing drink with an umbrella in it, gawk at the topless women on the beach, and leave the Yankees alone.

No phone calls to Brian Cashman or whoever you name general manager after you get done eviscerating the man who followed your architectural renderings in building the current pinstriped monument to excess. No demands to get this or that aging superstar with a contract the size of gross national product of Ecuador. No screaming at the hirelings every time the Yankees lose two in a row. No contact at all.
