Yankees shift ownership to Hal Steinbrenner

NEW YORK (AP) - Major League Baseball owners have approved the shift of control of the New York Yankees from George Steinbrenner to his son, Hal.

The owners approved the change Thursday. Hal Steinbrenner and his brother, Hank, took over most of the daily operation of the Yankees from their father last fall. George Steinbrenner bought the Yankees in 1973 and became one of the most high-profile owners in all of sports.

Hal Steinbrenner calls his father "a tough act to follow."
