They are gone. It's over. They have all left. A new era is not only dawning but has arrived.

It's like they never existed.

Ok, so we all heard how George Steinbrenner handed over the reigns of the Yankees to his two sons Hank and Hal. We know that things won’t change and that they’ll still spend too much on damaged goods. We also know all the stats about the wins, the free agent signings, the failed pursuit of one last world championship and how he changed managers 20 times in his first 23 seasons. However, what might have been lost in the cracks is this amazing story from October 2007, and trust me it’s worth the read.

The story comes to us via deadspin.com and is from 2007. It’s about a man who is locked in prison in South Carolina and really loves to file lawsuits. In an entertaining twist, he also loves to handwrite them. So without further ado, the story about Steinbrenner, Isiah Thomas, Perez Hilton and their gay lover. The author also answers such important questions as who is going to replace Jeter (it’s him) and how are the Yankees motivated before games (according to him with sexy catwalks and dances from him).

Added bonus: It includes Isiah Thomas (highlights: french kisses in porta potties and love letters), which means that this rubs salt in the wounds of two once proud NY franchises. Hey at least you guys aren’t Cubs fans.
