80
Thank you for not being like all the other owners and filling your pockets instead of putting it on the field.
Thanks for the 7 rings…RIP 
#28 will be for you and Bob this year. 
^ Let’s be clear…He filled his pockets as well as the players on the field.
RIP George! True Legend.
Although I’ve never really been a fan of Bib G, I must admit that i have respected the fact that he goes out and spends money on his club. I mean, i hate the Yankees becuase I’ve felt that they have bought several championships…but, at least they won them, right. It is part of what makes the Yankees THE YANKEES.
Either way, rest old man, rest. And smile becuase your legacy is certainly in tact.
Go Phillies!
Man I hated Steinbrenner. Sorry to hear of his passing though. Great at what he did, but yeah, I could not stand the guy. That dude was all about the $$$$$$, not baseball.
::runs away from thread due to large number of New Yorkers on this board::
Yeah,…can’t say I really liked him either.
All about $$$. Yeah,…they won rings. But they are the most hated team in sports too.
It’ll be interesting to see how the Yankees are run in the next couple years.
R.I.P George,…see ya on the other side.
Oh wait,…your part of the empire. You won’t be crossing over.
George will get Jesus to play ball in Hell now, yikes. 
J/K.
So, his son is not that much different, the legacy lives on!
^^ He hasn’t been running the team last couple of years. His son made the final decison on Torre.
I’d say he’s doing a damn good job too.
^^^Star Wars reference of the week!
Wow, i knew he was old and ill but i still didn’t see this coming. I thought he was immortal. Like Mr. Burns or something. Anyway, this guy had Yankees owner written all over him. I think it will be a while before there’s a character quite like him in the MLB.
RIP.
Really…You are too young…The Boss wanted the rings, but the money came too.
RIP.
Like him or hate him, he is part of baseball lore.
Does this mean that Wilhelm gets a promotion?
I hate that I’m defending George Steinbrenner here, but you can’t say that he was all about the money. The guy loved baseball and that’s why he poured so much money in his team. Every year his team didn’t win the Series was a giant thorn in his side. He loved the money, but he also loved the game. He was just able to use his gigantic fortune within the rules of MLB to assemble all-star teams in NY.
RIP George. Yankees still suck though 
Why does everyone forget the 80s? The Mattingly era was none too successful.
Now he can have all the Pisano’s Calzones he wants. Go Cubs.
Oh yeah and BTW…he went through nineteen managers in twenty years…btw again…this team really sucked for a LONG time. 
Umm, he was 80, no? I mean 1930-2010… I might be wrong…
Anyway, too bad… But he was rich! His teams proved that, they won err bought many titles… 
Thank you, Eric. 
A LOT of sox fans were telling me that today!! Very classy.
If your gonna defend, I’ll try to score.
He was twice suspended from baseball, once for shady campaign contributions to Richard Nixon and once for hiring a low-life to spy on his OWN star batter Dave Winfield.
Yeah,…he loved baseball,…but he also was a D!@K
