Steinbrenner's activities in the early 70"s does not hurt me one bit. I am not his defender. I merely pointed out your stooping to a poisonous level over long gone events that had nothing to do with you onj an occasion where Steinbrenner was being honored for his Yankee contributions. Obviously nastiness is your natural vindictive stae of being. Enjoy Jim Clark

He was a great owner and will be missed. Its sad to see him deteriorate like that. I agree with Optimus Prime above. He was a great owner and will be missed.

Abraham has an article later on summing up the mans good and bad parts..and I've been around since he bought the team and promised absentee ownership. Vrsoe: the truth hurts, doesn’t it?

I know he'll always speak his mind and gain some attention, but would you want an owner who just didn't care? Certainly not.

I will bet you do not have a clue as to the issue that George was convicted for 30 plus years ago. You just dredged up a vague memory and spewed it out. Contemptible Jim Clark

Either way, George is everything you should want in an owner. He's demanding, doesn't settle for second and wants the absolute best for his team. He turned a team from a laughing stock to a championship team and did it again twenty years later. He's certainly far from perfect, but would I rather have another non-Stein owner? No way. Not a chance. I remember this one story of George personally directing Yankee Stadium traffic…I think it might have happened beffore my time, but I’m not sure.
