Yankee Family Matters.

George Steinbrenner, the leader of the team we all love to hate, will be looking for a new heir apparent to run the Yankees when he shuffles off this mortal coil. Back in 2005, he said son-in-law and partial owner Steve Swindal (married to daughter Jennifer) would probably take over, but that's off the books, because Steve and Jennifer are on the bus to Splitsville after 23 years.

Those irreconcilable differences may have something to do with Swindal's recent DUI arrest in St. Petersburg, Florida, last month. And despite probably not running the Yankees, he'll probably come out okay from the whole thing. It's just hard to imagine the Yanks without George -- he's such a convenient and good target for all the hate, with his obnoxious, arrogant self. Any public face of the front office for the Yankees after him won't quite measure up to the high expectations.
