Gio: Hal Steinbrenner not being in touch with pulse of Yankee fans is a 'mind-boggling' problem

Hal Steinbrenner left many Yankee fans upset with his recent comments of puzzlement regarding fans being frustrated with the team’s current standing, and Gio said that confusion is a problem for ownership.

“If he isn’t in tune with his fanbase and why they could be upset…then I think that’s a problem,” Gio said. “To say he’s confused as to why the fanbase would be upset is mind-boggling to me.”


Steinbrenner owns a franchise that has championed a “World Series or bust” mentality for decades, and if the fans are upset at a team currently in third place and fighting just to stay afloat until Aaron Judge can return, Gio doesn’t see how their owner could be anything but understanding.

“Does the owner still have that standard?” Gio said. “I’m not gonna blame any Yankee fan that is upset…the frustration of the fans is gonna be there, and that’s what you want as an owner. The last thing you want is fans that are apathetic.”
