NEW YORK (Ticker) - The George Steinbrenner era is apparently all but over.

According to a report in the New York Post, the "Boss" has handed over control of the New York Yankees to his sons Hank and Hal Steinbrenner as he faces up to declining health.

George Steinbrenner, 77, was seldom seen at Yankee Stadium this season, attending only three games as his health kept him away.

The Post reported that the final details of the new arrangement are yet to be determined - something that will happen in meetings scheduled for Tampa, Florida next week - but Hank and Hal Steinbrenner are to take over the day-to-day running of the team.

"George has taken on a role like the chairman of a major corporation," team president Randy Levine told the Post. "He's been saying for years he's wanted to get his sons involved in the family business. Both of them have stepped up and are taking on the day-to-day duties of what's required to run the Yankees."

I'm sorry, I know this may sound insensitive, but the man is tearing down Yankee stadium. I can't get teary eyed over this.

It had to happen sooner or later though, and he's doing the best thing he could. He's putting it right across from the current stadium and the field itself will still be there and I'm sure they will have a lot of historic stuff in the park that will be right by it. They are going to do it the best way they could have. It's not like they are going to Jersey, Manhattan or Long Island.

Fenway and Wrigley are both older than Yankee stadium. The building has been re-modled before. It didn't have to happen.
