George Steinbrenner 1930-2010

Thank you, Boss, for 16 American League East titles, 11 American League Pennants and seven World Series Championships.
Thank you for a tireless and relentless commitment to winning, and for not being a cheap bastard like most owners in sports that are more concerned with their own bank accounts than the team they put on the field. Thank you for the new palace in the Bronx, the YES Network, and for restoring the New York Yankees to a position of greatness and prominence.
And thanks, specifically, for Reggie.
Hope Bob Sheppard gives you a big Yankee Stadium-style intro as you enter the Pearly Gates, and that you immediatley locate Billy Martin and re-hire him to do something. You can fire him again next year, and you can both laugh about it.
R.I.P, George.
There will never be another like you.
