It’s the day of the 2010 All-Star Game, but in baseball circles, 7/13/10 will now be known for something else entirely.  According to radio reports, iconic New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner has died of a heart attack.

I have a feeling that the “never speak ill of the dead” rule will be violated quite a bit in this part of the country, and to an extent, a lot of that will be deserved.

The bottom line is, this asshole bought a 79-win team for $8.8 million dollars in 1973.  The franchise he leaves behind is now…no longer a 79-win team worth $8.8 million.
