George Steinbrenner Dies of Massive Heart Attack

Breaking news this morning that Yankee's owner George Steinbrenner has died.  He died from what is being reported as a massive heart attack at the age of 80.  His son's are expected to take over ownership of the Yankees.

Since Steinbrenner bought the Yankee's in 1973 from CBS they have won 7 World Series and 11 American league pennants.  He was once quoted saying "winning is the most important thing in my life other than breathing."

Steinbrenner got his moneys worth out of the Yankee's, buying them for a measly 10 million dollars, today they are worth in the billions.

nice article on Steinbrenner telling about all his ups and downs as well as his many accomplishments.
