It’s been a sad week for the New York Yankees. Yesterday, Yankees announcer, Bob Sheppard, died and today, Yankees owner George Steinbrenner died of a massive heart attack, New York Daily News reports.
While there are many who disagreed with Steinbrenner’s management styles, I have always admired “The Steinbrenner Way,” and without that style, the Yankees would not have made their ways to numerous World Series championships.
As a die-hard Yankees fan, I am in a New York-state of mourning today. My thoughts and prayers are with the Steinbrenner family.
The period of Steinbrenner’s heaviest interventions led to zero World Series titles. By the way, he was the owner, not the manager. Anyway, RIP.
