yankees hire replacement for costantza

according to this weeks Sports Illustrated, the Yankees hired Eddie Robinson III as their assistant to the traveling secretary, a position at one point held by you-know-who...

--Mark Simon

I just read that yesterday and got a little chuckle.

It seem's Robinson's the grandson of the legendary Grambling football coach, I wonder if big Stein has any ties to that school or the family. Since this position never existed outside the Seinfeld universe, and it appears to have been created just for Robinson, I think maybe this was a favor of some sort.

Now the real question is will Robinson be doing for the team what George did for them? I don't mean switching to cotton unis and lengthening the bathroom stall doors, or switching to cheaper oil for the popcorn, or proposing new 'days' (Joe Peppitone, Jon Voight, free tires), I mean booking hotels and, um, what else did George do for the Yankees?

Oh, BTW, the cartoon beneath the snippet shows a desk with a 'Costanza' nameplate, a battered World Series trophy, a calzone, a grapefruit, an alarm clock, a card that says "Happy Birthday Boss" on it, and there's a Yankees baseball jersey slung over the chairback. Oh, and the desk appears to be sawed in half.

Who can name all the referenced episodes? I believe there's five.
