In Steinbrenner's worldview, a classic distractionGeorge Steinbrenner finished his salad and stuffed shells, rose from the lunch table and headed for his ever-ready golf cart.Such an image!
...when someone asked about the inaugural World Baseball Classic, Steinbrenner hit the brakes and took the bait.In pinstripe language, doesn't that mean, "if you DO play, I'll make your life hell for awhile?"
"Well, we don't like it too well, because if a player gets hurt, he's risking a lot," Steinbrenner said. "But it was Selig's idea and he wants to do it, so I suppose we're going to do it."
Steinbrenner said his players were welcome to withdraw, but he would not tell them to.
Other than Selig, is there anyone worse for the game than Steinbrenner?

What about OBrien in that catagory?
nah, he's just baseball stupid, not evil. he wasted the best years of the core of the team by not getting any pitching (or not getting more pitching when the pitchers he got were failures.)
