R.I.P. George Steinbrenner

New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner holds the World Series trophy after Game 4 of the World Series in San Diego in this October 21, 1998 file photo. Steinbrenner has died, the New York Daily News reported on its website on July 13, citing an unnamed source.
Sad news in baseball today as longtime New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner has passed away of a massive heart attack this morning at the age of 80.

Well, at least he got to see his team win one last World Series last fall. I'll be interested to see what kind of tribute the MLB puts together for George at the All-Star Game tonight, and also what kind of tribute the Yankees do when the season restarts at Yankee Stadium this Friday the 16th.
