Mount Steinbrenner Erupts
By lefty
There he goes again. Upset with Joe Torre’s decision to play Kenny Lofton in right field yesterday, Mount Steinbrenner was rumbling and spewing. “I don’t want to see Lofton in right field. I think two things: the error wouldn’t have been made out there had Sheffield been out there, and I think he might have caught that home run. That home run [to Gabe Gross in the 6th] barely got in!” he was quoted in this story by Evan Grossman of the New York Post. Lofton used a modified version of the old standby excuse that the sun got in his eyes, to explain the error.
Even thought the Yankees enjoy the best record in the American League and hold a 10 1/2 game lead over Boston in their division, the Boss is not satisfied.
