Doug Newton, CEO of Real American Brands, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: RLAB)
and co-founder of the Billy Martin's western brand, a wholly owned
subsidiary of RLAB, was interviewed yesterday by Don Imus on the
Fox Business Channel, and on Imus's program broadcast on the WABC
flagship and radio stations all over the country.
Imus, a long-time personal friend, invited Newton on the program
to discuss Newton's memories of the late George Steinbrenner who
died Wednesday at the age of 80. Excerpts of the interview are at

As business manager and sports agent to Billy Martin (5-time
field manager of the Yankees), Phil Rizzuto, Sparky Lyle, Roger
Maris and other Yankee greats, Newton was asked "was Steinbrenner
mean?", a description used by others who worked with and played for
the Yankee boss over the decades that he built the team from a $10
million investment in 1973 to a franchise estimated by Forbe's
Magaine to be worth $1.6 billion today.
When asked to rank Steinbrenner's place in Yankee history, along
with icons like Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, and Mickey Mantle, the
RLAB CEO said he would leave that up to hall-of-fame sports writers
and analysts, like Imus's friend, Mike Lupica, Warner Wolfe and
hall-of-fame NY Daily News writer Bill Madden, author of the New
York Times best selling biography of Steinbrenner, The Last Lion of
Baseball. www.amazon.com/Steinbrenner-Last...Bill-Madden/dp/0061690317
Thinking about Steinbrenner stirred up many emotions for Newton
who cared for the man a great deal. Newton said today "George was
born on the 4th of July and I hope he would have liked our
company's trademark 'Born & Bred in the USA.' He was a powerful
baseball owner, but a proud American above all else."
