So George Steinbrenner, the savior or the antichrist depending on which baseball fan you talk to, has cashed in his chips. As a recent casual fan of baseball, I can honestly say it's a shame to lose a guy like this. I grew up not giving a damn about baseball, but I still knew who Big George was. Some stats from the news show eulogizing him tonight: bought the Yankees when they sucked for 10 million. As of today they are worth approx. 1.2 Billion. Nice return on the investment I'd say.
23 years as Yankees owner/gm, twenty hired and fired managers in that time. Billy Martin alone got hired and fired five times. Yogi Berra got fired so badly he refused to step inside Yankee Stadium for 14 years, after having played his hall of fame career inside those walls.
So instantly famous and recognizable Seinfeld did a character based on him using only the voice mannerisms and the back of his head on camera; everybody still knew who it was supposed to be.
Anyway, for all he did for baseball; tip of the Yankees cap to ya, ya old bastard. Take your base...
