George Steinbrenner, owner of the NY Yankees ball club passed away in the early morning hours of July 13th after suffering a massive heart attack in Tampa, Florida. Seen as a legend in the baseball world for his leadership style, Steinbrenner was notably abrasive with his players and media alike. In a statement from his family, "He was a visionary and a giant in the world of sports". No doubt the end of an era in New York baseball and the world of sports. His sons are expected to continue ownership of the NY Yankees.
