Ninth-Inning Pardon
</hdr><body>
<p> Few fans of the embattled New York Yankees are inclined to
be merciful toward the team's loudmouthed and intrusive owner,
George Steinbrenner. But last week Steinbrenner was officially
forgiven and rehabilitated by an old sportscaster -- Ronald
Reagan. In one of his last official acts as President, Reagan
pardoned Steinbrenner for illegally funneling $100,000 to
Richard Nixon's 1972 presidential re-election campaign, for
which the boss had been fined $15,000 and banned from the
Yankees' management for 15 months. Said Steinbrenner, who is
better known for berating players and managers than offering
thanks: "I am very grateful."
