Love him or hate him, George Steinbrenner has been a great contributor to America's favorite pastime, baseball.
As owner of the New York Yankees, Mr. Steinbrenner was perhaps the most successful owner in all of professional sports.
I for one love his approach to building teams, doing what he thought was necessary to win championships.
The Yankees have won 27 World Championships, a few of them thanks to George Steinbrenner.
As a fan of the game, I have been to almost every stadium in the country including Yankee Stadium on several occasions.
My fondness memory there was being present Father's Day Weekend, June 18th 2005 when Derek Jeter hit his first and so far only Grand Slam against the Chicago Cubs.
Mr. Steinbrenner, thanks for the memories. I hope you have been called safe at the ultimate home plate!
