RIP George Steinbrenner

No link yet, but AP is reporting he suffered a massive heart attack and passed away this morning.

He's a polarizing figure to be sure, but undoubtedly one of the most important figures in sports of the past four decades

ESPN is carrying it now. He broke a lot of ground. Set the bar many times in sports
RIP

R.I.P. Mr. Steinbrenner lived one heck of a life RIP .

WOW! What a sad day for Baseball. I'm glad he got to see one last World Series Win.

Here is the link to it:

George Steinbrenner, New York Yankees owner, dies at age 80 - ESPN New York (http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/news/story?id=5375561)

The New York Daily News reported that Steinbrenner died around 6:30 a.m. ET Tuesday in Tampa, Fla.

WABC-TV in New York reported that Steinbrenner, the Yankees' owner since 1973, suffered a massive heart attack.

Steinbrenner, who celebrated his 80th birthday on July 4, was taken to a Tampa hospital after emergency crews responded to his home Monday night.

Steinbrenner gave his sons, Hal and Hank, day-to-day control of the team in late 2007.

Under his ownership, the Yankees have won 11 AL pennants and seven World Series titles.

Being a Red Sox fan I kind of hate to say it, but this guy was one of the best owners in all of baseball. He cared deeply about winning and his Yankees won.........alot! RIP George Steinbrenner.

Damn, RIP to "The Boss"

I've gat a grand that says the Yankees will win the World Series this year.

Wherever they are in the afterlife, there's little doubt that The Boss has already fired Billy Martin.

RIP, George Steinbrenner. Bob Sheppard already is there to announce your arrival.

I hate the Yankees more than any other team in sports (including the Cowpokes), but I'm still human. RIP Mr. Steinbrenner.
