View Full Version : Yankees Owner George Steinbrenner Has Passed Away 80 Pavan 07-13-2010, 09:49 AM WABC is reporting that Yankees owner George Steinbrenner has died after a heart attack in Florida. George just turned 80 on July 4. RIP, Boss. steevo 07-13-2010, 10:14 AM George Steinbrenner was dedicated to making the Yankees a winner. He truly cared about NY and their fans. It is comforting to know that in the last full season he saw, they were able to win one more championship for him. :rip: Boss. catlover79 07-13-2010, 10:33 AM I just heard that. Creepy that he died just after their announcer died. I am not a Yankees fan at all, but he was indeed committed to winning. God bless his family, friends and colleagues. :rip: James 07-13-2010, 11:52 AM Is he truly sorry about his treatment of Dave "Mr. May" Winfield and expulsion of Texas Rangers fans from a playoff game in 1996? (Where was the outrage in the drive-by media?) He was a disgrace to baseball, and Butthead Selig didn't have the balls to challenge him. Goodbye, and good riddance.

You can see more at http://espn.go.com/page2/s/list/steinbrenner.html. That's really uncalled for. This is a dedication thread afterall. :ohno: R.I.P. George Steinbrenner. You are with all the Yankee greats now. :( Pavan 07-13-2010, 02:01 PM James, for a person who is so religious, you seem to have a lot of hate. What did he ever do to you? You didn't know the guy. Have some respect. James 07-13-2010, 04:02 PM Folks, I'm sorry, but I was angered not only by Steinbrenner's antics, but also by the whitewash job the media did on some of them like those I described in my previous post. Did he bribe the media with "hush money"? I can only wonder... ohno: Marvo301 07-13-2010, 04:14 PM :rip: George Steinbrenner DVDAddict 07-13-2010, 04:21 PM I hate the Yankees and their fans but their owner is a good one, rest in peace, George! Zoneboy 07-13-2010, 04:54 PM I hate the Yankees and their fans but their owner is a good one, rest in peace, George! It's certainly good to know who hates me on this board. :rolleyes: DVDAddict 07-13-2010, 05:39 PM It's certainly good to know who hates me on this board. :rolleyes: Whatever you say MrCleveland 07-14-2010, 02:43 PM I just heard that. Creepy that he died just after their announcer died. I am not a Yankees fan at all, but he was indeed committed to winning. God bless his family, friends and colleagues. :rip: Though Steinbrenner was a hard-ass, he helped Cleveland's Mounted Police when they were in trouble. (Too bad he didn't bailout Cleveland when they went into default) But Steinbrenner...you'll be missed more here than LeButthead ever will be! |
