STEINBRENNER PUTS 27 MORE CHAMPIONSHIPS IN HIS WILL

Immediately following the New York Yankees' 27th World Series title, Hal and Hank Steinbrenner, sons of the ailing Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, have announced that the long time franchise owner has designated billions of dollars in his will for the purchase of 27 more world series championships within the next 75 years. "Our father's will states that the New York Yankees franchise will periodically purchase twenty seven world championships from Major League Baseball within the next seventy-five years," Hank announced during the post-game press conference on YES network. Although George Steinbrenner was too ill to attend the celebrations, his two sons - now set to be co-owners of the organization - expressed their father's joy and excitement for "27 more." Steinbrenner has specifically requested four world championships in a row through 2034 - 2038, a la the great dynasty of the late 1990s. "Our father wants that time to be a renaissance for the organization just in time for a new stadium that will be built in 2040," Hank told the press. As for the players, an excerpt of the will was released to the press which stated that at least 65% of the team should be of MVP caliber, and no less than 100 wins will be accepted. It states that if the current manager fails to win a championship in 3 years of their tenure, they will be fired. Sports journalist Matt Everest is a bit speculative over whether the Yankees can keep the "New York" in their title after Mayor Michael Bloomberg most likely will purchase New York City after his next failed election and name it Bloomberg.
