The Boss has passed.
 

I am hearing word of the passing of George Steinbrenner. Still havn't found a link.......But unfortunately assuming the worst.

R.I.P. Mr. Steinbrenner.

Still no link about his death....

I did find one about him being rushed to the hospital.

most recent info - doesn't say that he is dead.

The Yankee announcer, Bob Sheppard died.

Thank you, I am well aware of the difference.......

Apperantly it was a massive heart attack, but no confirmation of death as of yet.

It wasn't meant to be an insult - just some extra coincidental info.

Jeez!

Not a good person at all....The Boss is Springsteen

Seinfeld did a ton to rehab his image, as did retirement. A larger than life Yankees figure. Between him and Billy Martin, I'm not sure who created more lifelong Yankees haters in the 80's and 90's.

Agree :)

Actually, I thought I was going to read that Bruce had passed.

ESPN reports he died this morning.

typical met fan , yankee hater

Why would Bruce Springsteen's death be in a sports thread?

If you are a Yanks fan, the only Boss was George Steinbrenner.

Unfortunately I have seen it confirmed all over the TV.......

R.I.P.

Nope, look at the history of the person as well as having friends who trained for him.

Everything he ever did was in the interest of making the Yanks the best they can be. Yankee fans owe him a debt of gratitude for that. RIP Boss and thanks for all you did for all of us Yankee fans who had to endure the Horace Clarke years.

You gotta look at the whole package , if you don't that the good outweighed the bad you are wrong


i can understand individual cases my have an axe to grind , but the good outweighed the bad and as far as baseball the good outweighed the bad

Oh I believe that he was real S.O.B. to work for. He also took a beating for some shady dealings in the late 80's.
But if you are a fan of the organization, how can you not love him? The most important thing in the world to him was winning and he would do anything possible for his team to reach it's goal.

you think jack welch ,chuck lee , or any ceo of a major corporation was easy to work for ? no , to be a leader at the top you gotta be an sob and if you are not you don't make it

Sorry! I didn't pick up on that, and I'm not looking for an argument.

I'm sorry he died. I wonder if he was still involed in race horse ownership.

R.I.P., Mr. Steinbrenner.

Come on Marty.............You know there is a difference between just being hard to work for and being a ****. As much as I respect everything the man has done for the Yanks, apparently he fell into that **** category.
