The Boss turned 80 on July 4 and
his death today comes just two days after the passing of 50-year Yankees announcer
Bob Sheppard, leaving the Yankees and their fans with many reasons to mourn . . . and to be thankful. Someone clever quipped that "God must have needed Bob Sheppard to introduce the Boss in heaven."
Love him or hate him, Steinbrenner didn't mince words.
He also turned the Yankees into winners, with 11 pennants and seven World Series championships in 37 years. Colleague and fellow blogger
The Sportslifer, says it best - Yanks for the memories.
Rest in peace.

Hideki Irabu's passing, however metaphorical, is neither mourned nor lamented.
