They said he had suffered a massive heart attack, but did not report that he had died. I suspected that a death announcement would be forthcoming real soon, since a "massive" heart attack at his age is usually fatal.
Sad news indeed. RIP...

George Steinbrenner, Yankees Owner, Has Died
George Steinbrenner, principal owner of the New York Yankees since 1973, has died in Tampa, Fla., at the age of 80, the team announced. During an often tumultuous reign, he placed his stamp on 7 World Series championship teams, 11 pennant winners and a sporting world powerhouse valued at perhaps
$1.6 billion. Mr. Steinbrenner had been in failing health for the past several years and had rarely appeared in public. |

He definitely made the Yankee-Red Sox rivalry more interesting.

He took the once proud fallen franchise and made it proud again. And changed baseball forever.

RIP George, you will be missed by baseball in general.
