In last night’s Open Thread, Steve asked us to complete the following sentence: “If George was still alive….” My response was as follows:
“….he’d probably wonder why people forgot that he was basically all bark and no bite once he came back from suspension, and would be baffled by the fact that [...]
Seemingly every time a baseball team is on the brink of being sold we start hearing a lot about Mark Cuban. The 52-year-old billionaire is the owner of the perennially successful Dallas Mavericks, a team which he transformed from a league doormat to a top Western Conference talent.

Courtesy of Mike Schriner, here’s a recent blog post from his mother, Mary Jane Schriner, a freelance writer for the New York Times and published author who recently wrote a story for the paper recalling her friendship with Yankees owner George Steinbrenner.

The Yankees won the first home game they played after the passing [...]
Like many Yankee fans, I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of George Steinbrenner today. Though no one can consider the news a surprise, given the reports of his dwindling health during the last few years, it’s still a tremendous loss as we say goodbye to one [...]
Larry, MJR, and I will wax poetic about what the Boss meant to us later on, but we here at Yankeeist would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the Steinbrenners, and the entire Yankee Universe. Ever the polarizing figure, one thing about George Steinbrenner could not be ignored: he [...]
According to multiple sources, George Steinbrenner has been transported to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Tampa. The report is that he has suffered a massive heart attack and is believed to be in serious condition. More info as it comes in…
