Today baseball should be mourning a man who changed the game. The Boss, George Steinbrenner, died today at the age of 80. This is a big blow to the New York Yankees and Major League Baseball.I myself was not a fan of him, though I liked his style. I am a Texas Rangers fan, and so being a fan of anything related to the Yankees is tough, but I give respect to a man who should be considered one of the greatest sports franchise owners of all time, regardless of the sport.
Tonight they play an All-Star game in Anaheim, so even though there are 6 Rangers in the game, I would be happy to see the Yankees have a great game in honor of their former owner.
To the Steinbrenner family, best of luck to all of you, and you have my condolences. I'm sure you will keep on with the Steinbrenner tradition of winning championships no matter what it is going to cost you. I am also glad your Cliff Lee deal failed. Also thanks to you, Dallas has Jerry Jones and Mark Cuban, but why couldn't you done better work on Tom Hicks?
So to close it out, I'm refrain from one of my normal awesome comments and leave with a quote coined by the late George III, "Breathing is first, winning is second."
