Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
Bill Lee, then, is likely to catch a bit of flak for these comments made about the late Yankees owner. In an interview with a New Hampshire NBC affiliate, the former Red Sox pitcher expresses happiness in Steinbrenner's passing. He goes on to say that The Boss had tried to get him banned from the sport before calling Steinbrenner a convicted felon.
He then tops it off by saying through laughter, "If hell freezes over, he'll be skating."
I guess we'll just go ahead and cross Bill Lee off the eulogy list at the Steinbrenner funeral.

I’d stomp his corpse if it were before me, and I lived in the French countryside til the 1980s.
It’s tough to explain how Boston- and, in Lee’s case, New Hampshire- is. I had never seen baseball before I moved here, and I hated the Yankees by the end of my first summer here. I think they do subliminal anti-Yankee stuff on the local news or something.
I’m not making this up to be funny, either.

I think Graig Nettles should go up there and body slam him on his shoulder again—or better yet, his head!
RIP, George—-and GO YANKS!

No one will ever use "a man of integrity" and Spaceman in the same sentence.
