I have been enjoying "Steinbrenner The Last Lion of Baseball" by NY Daily News writer Bill Madden. He details all the moves that the Boss made. Did you know that the Yankees are worth about 2 billion dollars? All from an initial investment of $160,000 when he first bought the team.
I know a lot of people hate the Boss and the Yankees but he is without a doubt the greatest owner in the history of sports, bar none. He has made his mistakes but he kept the Yankees in the hunt for most of his tenure.
We will really miss him when he is gone.
If you get a chance take a look.

He's still alive? Check his attic for a painting.
We will really miss him when he is gone.
Somebody else we'll all miss when he's gone is ol' Ernie Borgnine.
I thought of you and blake and Ron and Darcy and all youse guys today as I walked up and down Hollywood Blvd.
Ernest Borgnine tapped into the fountain of youth.
So to speak.
My guess is the old man would've been more tolerant of Gaga's Yankee groupiegropyness than his son. He had bigger fish to fry than to be concerned about such a trifle. But it's only a guess.
