NEW YORK (Reuters) - George Steinbrenner, the New York Yankees owner known as "The Boss" for his colorful and tempestuous style, died in Florida at age 80, his family and baseball club said on Tuesday.
Media reports said he suffered a massive heart attack at his home in Tampa and was rushed to hospital.
Steinbrenner demanded results and got them as he ran America's most successful sports franchise. The Yankees won seven World Series titles and 11 American League pennants since he bought the fabled club in 1973.

One of those people I was only sort of passively aware of. I expect there may be others here who followed the guy's career a little more closely.

As a Red Sox fan I can't say I relished his success as an owner - as noted he brought a ton of championships to NY.
I'm not sure if he was actually good for the sport (the "Evil Empire" outspending all the other teams), but he knew how to build a solid organization. |
