While I'm not expressing any opinion on George, I'd say that anyone who starts a thread on George should have the stomach to take whatever comments on George may come. You don't have to start a new thread because you disagree with the original poster. I see your point Jim, but I just think one Steinbrenner thread is all we need...

I wasn't really suggesting a second thread. I was suggesting silent disgression on the part of the haters.

In Chris's case, 27 years have lapsed since George, allegedly committed this injustice. Bringing it up during the time right after his passing is insensitive.

Jim,I only brought it up because of the current thread. I was no going to start a second thread. 27 years is a long time ago but as someone who grew up in the area I have heard similiar stories in the past 10 years.Based on his 37 years taking in totality I would not want him as my BOSS.CN

Perhaps whoever sends this thread to the Steinbrenner family will edit out the insensitive comments (including my previous ones).

Condolences to his family, the Yankees, Major League Baseball and the Bronx.

Rob,

Your insensitivity, in all matters, is understandable.

You are an Indians fan. :D

Actually, I wanted to apologize on behalf of the Net 54 community to the Steinbrenner family for some of the insensitive and classless comments on this thread which could be upsetting. And my continued condolences and prayers to the family and friends of Mr. Steinbrenner.

Wow, and here I thought you were a Twins fan all this time. :(

I am and have been a Twins fan for that long too. The two teams have seldom put me in conflict, but when they do, I'm Twins first. Was lucky enough (and thereafter poor enough) to have flown up North in late May to to watch the Twins-Yankees three game set at Target Field.

I want the Twins-Yanks ALCS every year. This season, the Yankees should make it into the tournament, but the Twins seem to have made it tough on themselves again.
