Actually:
	Brett was wrong - the bat was illegal.
	Brett has an obnoxious personality - he's proved it again.
	The umps were wrong - the penalty was too severe.
	MacPhail was wrong - Brett got off with no penalty.
	But, Steinbrenner is still an asshole.

What the original Yankees did for baseball, Steinbrenner is undoing!
If a netnews yokel is someone who hates the modern Yankees, proud to
be a yokel!
