Another example of Yankees managerial vacuum: Felix Lopez

• Son-in-law behind rally for democrat candidate at Steinbrenner Field with World Series bound Rays:

Newsday: "Felix Lopez, son-in-law of George Steinbrenner, continues

• to capitalize

• on the power void in Tampa,

where Hal Steinbrenner is busy running baseball operations with Brian Cashman

• and Hank Steinbrenner is busy making hilarious statements to the media.

Lopez organized Barack Obama's usage of Steinbrenner Field as a campaign stop last Monday. Obama appeared alongside a number of Rays players, who were less than 24 hours removed from their thrilling ALCS victory over the Red Sox.

• But Obama, according to a witness,

• didn't mention the Yankees significantly in his speech, something

• Lopez should've covered in his planning with the Obama people."

Not surprising--the Yankees are easy to take advantage of. Especially when it's media-related.

• There were already ethical problems for baseball with this event. (sm)
