On the new
Player's Tribune podcast about David Ortiz, former Red Sox hero
Kevin Millar tells a story that demonstrates what a total jerk Yankee Owner
George Steinbrenner was. After Boston's gut-wrenching Game 7 ALCS loss in 2003 (When
Aaron "F'. Boone went yard on
Tim Wakefield), Steinbrenner gave the "double bird-flip" to Red Sox players on the team bus. If you needed any more evidence that Steinbrenner was a classless buffoon, now you have it. Millar first recounted this story back in
a 2015 interview with
Dan Patrick. Of course, the Steinbrenner progeny (
TweedleDumb and
TweedleDumber) still run the
Pinstriped Poser franchise. The apples haven't fallen far.
