Hank: We Support Joba 100%

Hank was in New York today for a press conference and was asked about Joba, here's what he had to say:

“We’re behind him 100%. He knows he made a mistake and he’s come out and said that. You know, we’ve always said we’re an extended family - the Yankee family. We will support him 100% with that thing.”

He also said this to the Daily News last night:

"If he needs help, we'll certainly give it to him," Steinbrenner told the New York Daily News.

"It happens," he said. "Everybody deserves a second chance -- or even a third chance. "He's 23 years old. He's just very lucky that nothing more serious happened. We're talking about a really good kid here, and that's what counts."

This was one of those rare times when Hank speaks to the media and doesn't say something stupid.
