Yesterday morning in Tampa, Florida one of baseball's greats passed on. George Steinbrenner, Yankees owner, and avid horse racing enthusiast, died of a massive heart attack.
Mr. Steinbrenner took the New York Yankees to the top. He created a dynasty. He created NEW baseball. He changed the way players were paid. He changed the way managers were fired. (17 managers in 17 seasons) He changed the way the world saw baseball.
George Steinbrenner was not the most adored man, but he was a good man and a great owner. He loved the great game and he will be remembered. I know he is happy with Lou and Joe and Jackie.

easy to hate him, hard not to respect him.
