BASEBALL / DAILY REPORT : AROUND THE MAJOR LEAGUES : Steinbrenner Decision Might Be Delayed
Commissioner Fay Vincent might delay his ruling on George Steinbrenner, one which was expected to allow the owner back in baseball to run the New York Yankees, according to a published report.
Vincent, only saying that “something came up,” indicated that his decision on Steinbrenner, which was supposed to be issued today, might be postponed, according to the New York Times.
On Saturday, the New York Daily News, citing unidentified sources, said that Vincent will not let Steinbrenner return until next year as a penalty for his behavior during the last two years.
The Times said Vincent would not say what came up regarding Steinbrenner or even if the Vincent would delay his decision. The Times, also citing unidentified sources, said several Yankee officials believe there are many signs Steinbrenner had violated his agreement with Vincent by talking to club officials since the ban.
