what a neat idea. its been a while since I last watched these shows.
When the boss first bought the yankees, I did not like the way he threw money around and fired managers.
As I got older I also noticed the good things he did as well.

Just found this post, so I didn't know about the tribute, but I'm sure he would have been honored. Wow, doesn't seem like that long ago since he passed away.
