George M Steinbrenner   Yankees' Steinbrenner dies at 80
                  1930 ~ 2010

The Tampa Bay area and the nation shared some very sad news in July. Our good friend and sport legend George M. Steinbrenner passed away at St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa July 13, 2010 ... He had just turned 80 on the Fourth of July.

We are all touched by his passing because he was such an important part of our community. He was always available to the media. He created jobs. He created controversy. But most of all he manufactured the kind of love public figures are seldom capable of. When George did something we didn't like, when he fired our favorite Yankee's manager, we just wanted to clobber him. But he was a member of our family and somehow, deep down, we knew he had made the right decision for all of us.

It all seemed to work out right. He had a winning team. He had a winning heart. It was not his heart that took him, as was first reported by the media, but an aneurism. It was not by accident that such a charitable, visionary and great American would be born on the Fourth of July. He was truly a great American and a great citizen of our community.

We now mourn his loss together. It's not like we have lost one man, we have lost many men in this larger than life figure. A friend, a sportsman, a businessman, a philanthropist...he was just so many things to each one of us. It has been painful these last few years to watch his health deteriorate. It wasn't like we lost George suddenly. He left us month by month, day by day, moment by moment. The Alzheimer's symptoms set in and he eventually had to turn over the reigns of the ball team to his sons.

George M SteinbrennerThe New York Yankees will never be the same. When you heard their name, you thought of George. Read more about him in our great Tampa Bay Legends section.

George M. Steinbrenner will long be remembered ... and for hundreds of very good reasons. Goodbye George, you will be missed. May you rest in peace.

Til the next edition,
