Re: RIP George Steinbrenner
Here is the link to it:
George Steinbrenner, New York Yankees owner, dies at age 80 - ESPN New York
Quote:
The New York Daily News reported that Steinbrenner died around 6:30 a.m. ET Tuesday in Tampa, Fla.
WABC-TV in New York reported that Steinbrenner, the Yankees' owner since 1973, suffered a massive heart attack.
Steinbrenner, who celebrated his 80th birthday on July 4, was taken to a Tampa hospital after emergency crews responded to his home Monday night.
Steinbrenner gave his sons, Hal and Hank, day-to-day control of the team in late 2007.
Under his ownership, the Yankees have won 11 AL pennants and seven World Series titles.

Being a Red Sox fan I kind of hate to say it, but this guy was one of the best owners in all of baseball. He cared deeply about winning and his Yankees won.........alot! RIP George Steinbrenner.
