I had a whole other post ready to go but this was a news story that was too big to ignore.
George Steinbrenner passed away today at the age of 80 after a massive heart attack. Whether you liked the guy personally or not and whether you agreed with his tactics and methods, you had to admire the guy’s desire to be the best. When he bought the Yankees, they were a shell of their past glory and over the years he transofrmed them into a corporate giant that went beyond a sports team.
