New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner suffered a massive heart attack, and has been pronounced dead in a Florida hospital. Steinbrenner had just turned 80 on July 4th, was the key in the New York Yankee organization turnaround after he purchased the club.
Steinbrenner had a career of turmoil as he had many disputes with managers, hiring and firing them at will. Steinbrenner hired and fired Billy Martin to manage the Yankees several times.
His son Hank Steinbrenner had taken over day to day operations recently.
Testimonials are pouring in about the late great George Steinbrenner, and watch the All Star game tonight for a special tribute from Major Leauge Baseball.
