most recent info - doesn't say that he is dead.

The Yankee announcer, Bob Sheppard died.

Apperantly it was a massive heart attack, but no confirmation of death as of yet.

It wasn't meant to be an insult - just some extra coincidental info.

Jeez!

Seinfeld did a ton to rehab his image, as did retirement. A larger than life Yankees figure. Between him and Billy Martin, I'm not sure who created more lifelong Yankees haters in the 80's and 90's.

Everything he ever did was in the interest of making the Yanks the best they can be. Yankee fans owe him a debt of gratitude for that. RIP Boss and thanks for all you did for all of us Yankee fans who had to endure the Horace Clarke years.

Why would Bruce Springsteen's death be in a sports thread?

If you are a Yanks fan, the only Boss was George Steinbrenner.

Unfortunately I have seen it confirmed all over the TV.......

R.I.P.

Sorry! I didn't pick up on that, and I'm not looking for an argument.

I'm sorry he died. I wonder if he was still involed in race horse ownership.

R.I.P., Mr. Steinbrenner.

Nope, look at the history of the person as well as having friends who trained for him.

You gotta look at the whole package , if you don't that the good outweighed the bad you are wrong


i can understand individual cases my have an axe to grind , but the good outweighed the bad and as far as baseball the good outweighed the bad
