American Icons – George Steinbrenner dies at 80

The Yankees’ iconic owner George Steinbrenner died this early this morning from a heart attack. Steinbrenner bought the Yankees in 1973, then a slightly pathetic excuse for a baseball team, and turned them into the sports powerhouse they are today. Whether you’re a Yankee or Mets (or, okay, Phillies) fan, join the baseball world in mourning the loss of one of its legends.
