George Steinbrenner, New York Yankees owner, dies at age 80 - ESPN New York

End of an era in baseball. There will never be another owner like him. I wonder how soon until his sons sell the team though, it has never looked like they had an interest in owning the team longterm. He bought the team for $12 million. The best $12 million anyone has ever invested?

Best quote I read today, "even in death he is taking the spotlight away from on field action (in this case the All-Star game)"
