I'm a lifelong Red Sox fan and follow the Rays but the Yankees are a huge part of Tampa and so was Mr. Steinbrenner.

He will be missed.

Certainly made baseball interesting, and even if you didn't like him, you definately knew he was out to win and didn't tolerate failure. Money wasn't everything--he wanted to win, and badly.

Too bad the same can't be said about the Cubs...

Rest In Peace Mr. Steinbrenner, baseball will be that much duller without you.

Re: RIP Mr. Steinbrenner

It is a bit curious. I was a huge Yankee fan as a kid during the 70's, and remember how much Steinbrenner was generally HATED - I mean with a vitriolic passion, by many in and out of New York!

I stopped following baseball ages ago, but evidently his rep was rehabilitated over the years! The media here has been carrying on as if a head of state had passed!

He definitely left an impression, that is for sure!
