May 5, 2008 · 3 Comments 

Remember when Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy were considered to be the hope of New York?  Everyone was talking about how they were going to replicate the success of the 1996 Yanks with the perfect blend of youth and veteran talent.  Hank Steinbrenner was considered to be one of the ‘baseball’ people, and with George out, the Yankees empire wasn’t so evil anymore.
