It is official, Hank Steinbrenner has joined the greatest rivalry in sports. Relatively quiet about the Red Sox until now, Hank responded to Theo Epstein’s radio comments on the Yankees, particularly Mike Mussina, complaints coming back from Japan in 2004.

“Red Sox Nation? What a bunch of (expletive) that is. That was a creation of the Red Sox and ESPN, which is filled with Red Sox fans. Go anywhere in America and you won’t see Red Sox hats and jackets. You’ll see Yankee hats and jackets. This is a Yankee country. We’re going to put the Yankees back on top and restore the universe to order.” — New York Times’ Play magazine
Resore the universe to order…nice Hank.
