Seems like from what people are saying, his dipiction of Steinbrenner is dead on. I don't think it's Platt that is the problem, I just think George is a bit of a joke.
It reminds me of when Mr. Burns got all those ringers on the Simpsons, and one was Don Mattingly. Mr. Burns continually told him to shave those side burns, and he didn't even have any. Finally Mattingly shaved the sides of his head and Mr. Burns got pissed and fired him for not shaving his side burns. Then Mattingly says "I still like him better than Stienbrenner".
While that is a funny joke, especially for Sox fans, I think that is somewhat accurate.
