massive heart attack http://content.usatoday.com/communi...07/george-steinbrenner-heart-attack-yankees/1
The Boss has gone to the giant stadium in the sky. The hitting coach for Peter's Gatekeepers better watch his back, the Boss don't play games. You were a merciless tyrant and a beloved grandfather figure. Baseball will never see another like you, for better or for worse. The Yankees are the better for having been owned by you. Never before has a man been so dedicated to winning. Thank you Boss. This is the first sports passing that has really impacted me. The words of the Boss will echo throughout Yankee history.
while he ran the yankees it was easy to hate him since he has been out of the limelight for a short while it's easy to give him his propers, RIP george you are a true icon of the sports world
Well, at least now we have proof that he had a heart. Seriously, though: Steinbrenner was an amazing character and force to be reckoned with in MLB. No one could ever question his drive to win. RIP.
If you ever questioned whether he had a heart you should have seen him break down into tears when he was at the stadium a few years ago and Yankee Stadium came to life with an impromptu "THANK YOU BOSS! THANK YOU BOSS!" that lasted for quite some time. There is no question that George Steinbrenner had a lot of blemishes on him as an owner, but never before has a sports owner been so dedicated to delivering championships to his fans. This is a man that routinely lost millions of dollars a year in efforts to make the team good despite profit.
