Yankees Owner George Steinbrenner Dies at 80

You beat me to it!!! Donny and I are in mourning. Yes - we are Yankee fans (he's born & raised, I married into it; and I do root for the Phillies - we had a house divided last fall).

Although George was tempermental, you can't knock the fact he knew how to put together a winning team. RIP

What!? He didn't...wow. That's a bummer.

I didn't know he was 80, but still. Damn.

Not a Yankees fan,but sad just the same.

RIP, George. :(

Here's the video from 2008 when the New York Yankees officially renamed their spring training stadium in Tampa, Fla., Steinbrenner Field (formerly Legends Field) after George.

My opinion of Steinbrenner isn't as nice but de mortuis nil nisi bonum
RIP

Also check out a book called Free Lunch by David Cay Johnston.

An interesting read.

OLD??? Good god he was only 18 years older than I am. That's mighty young in my book.
