Family boss, in failing health and under pressure from rival families (teams) hands off power to Steve Swindal.
Swindal is out after a divorce of Steinbrenner's daughter, which I guess is better than a toll-booth shooting of Sonny.
The daughter is probably going to come back home somehow in a reduced fashion (so she's good for the Connie role).
Middle son Hank (Fredo) is estranged from the family and passed over for youngest brother Hal (Michael) who consolidates his power over the family business as the Yankees' new general partner and makes his other brother-in-law Felix Lopez into a trusted advisor (like adopted Tom Hagen being consigliere).
Does this make Joe Torre into Clemenza? A-Rod into Luca Brazi thanks to their current last-place showing? And of Omar Minaya or Theo Epstein, which one is Tattaglia and which one is Barzini?
And where are my goddamn cannolis?
