For those who don’t follow baseball, George Steinbrenner is the owner of the New York Yankees, and was the hands-on force that re-established the Yankees as a premier franchise in the league.
Don’t like the guy at all. I think he’s an egotistical ass. But I still wish him a full recovery.
So soon after the passing of long-time Yankee Stadium public address announcer Bob Sheppard, too.
Prayers for the BOSS...
Mr Steinbrenner was/is a huge supporter of our military men..
Yankees Owner George Steinbrenner Reportedly Suffers Heart Attack
Published July 13, 2010
URGENT: New York Yankees Owner George Steinbrenner has reportedly suffered a massive heart attack and was rushed to a hospital in Florida overnight, local media reported.
Emergency crews responded to a call at Steinbrenner’s home in Tampa Monday night and took him to St. Joseph’s Hospital, where his condition is unkown, 9Online.com reported.
Steinbrenner has owned the Yankees since 1973, though his declining health forced him to hand over day-to-day operations of the team to his sons in 2006.
Prayers up
RIP
He also owns a steamship line on the Great Lakes.
Hang in there George. Get well and maybe Castanza will bring you a Calzone (sp)! Hated it when he got the Yanks. But I hope he pulls through!
He is dead
WTOP is reporting his death.
Oh too bad RIP!
It’s my belief this guy single-handedly ruined the great American pastime..
The fact that I’m a lifelong Red Sox fan may have something to do with my deep animosity toward him ;)
Regardless- I hope he either goes quickly or recovers completely.

George has been a little crazy but he did want to bring a winner to NY and the fans have to like that. Have read that other baseball owners, some of them actually wealtheir than george, but were unwilling to spend the money to get a good team.
RIP, Mr S.
God Bless his soul.
Most Americans never heard of him.
Another ‘breathless’ headline to keep from reporting real news.
ooops...never mind- reports now say he’s died.
Now this is just strange...
