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.

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.

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.

Springsteen's daughter is a pretty accomplished equestrian. Regardless, even in jest, it's poor taste to wish death upon anybody.

RIP Mr. Steinbrenner. As a lifelong Yankees fan at times during his stewardship I disliked him and admired him...the bottom line is the Yankees won. He was also a very charitable man under the radar.
