Legendary New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner passed away this morning after suffering a major heart attack. Love him or hate him, the man was among the most important to the game of baseball in the sport’s history. Equal parts narcissistic and brilliant, Steinbrenner and his checkbook have been the definition of polarity for decades. If anything, he was an incredible character, someone who couldn’t be created by the greatest fiction authors. Tonight’s All-Star Game will indeed have a little extra weight to it now.

CONSTANZA!!
R.I.P. Bossman, you will be missed
I feel like this is the dawn before a wicked Boston fan storm.
Harvey Pekar yesterday. Steinbrenner today. Everyone’s leaving Cleveland these days.
He’ll be firing Billy Martin in hell.
He had a nice heiny
Better yet, it’s the calm. How about another cup o’ coffee, hoss?
Well, fuck. Who’s going to eat this extra calzone?
Best.Owner.Ever. The Boss, RIP
Should of been you Bud Selig.
And Art Modell is allowed to continue to roam the earth…
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. If there was one man capable of making Futurama’s vision for immortality possible…
His last words were FUCK YOU BILLY MARTIN. I’M COMING FOR YOU!
Hopefully he can take Bosh and LeBron to hell with him… lol
George Steinbrenner has already made Jesus cut his hair and shave his beard.
George, there’s a southpaw down there than nodbody’s been able to get a look at…something Rodriguez…I don’t really know his name. You get yourself down to Havana right away.
One more owner that Al Davis has outlived.
My only question,
Will they freeze him?
There can be only one.
Should have been you, Theo Epstein.
Steinbrenner died?
*puts on sunglasses*
Looks like we’ll have to meet the new boss.
*YEEEAAA…record scratch*
*confusion*
What the hell did you trade Jay Buhner for?! He had 30 home runs, over 100 RBIs last year! He’s got a rocket for an arm… You don’t know what the hell you’re doing!

@Garipeto My baseball people loved Ken Phelps’ bat…they just kept saying Ken Phelps, Ken Phelps, Ken Phelps.
