Steinbrenner dead at 80
New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner has passed away at the age of 80 after suffering a heart attack.
The owner’s health quickly deteriorated over the past couple of years and he did not look good at the ceremony to close down the old Yankee Stadium.
Steinbrenner helped the Yankees win several World Series titles and was never afraid to make a big move.
He opened up his checkbook and did virtually whatever it took to turn the Yankees into a winner.
While hated by many around baseball for his strong personality, he was also widely respected.
