Yankees general partner Steve Swindal was detained early this morning in Florida under suspicion of DUI, according to WFAN. He reportedly apologized profusely once released.
Swindal is George Steinbrenner's son-in-law and is the top candidate to take control of the Yankees once Steinbrenner's reign is over. There's also been some controversy lately about Swindal's future with the team given his stake in Excelsior Racing Associates, which is bidding for three New York racetracks and eyeing the inclusion of video slot machines. Of course, MLB dislikes any ties with casino gambling.
