NY Yankees Co-Owner Hank Steinbrenner Dead At 63
-- The Steinbrenner family released a statement through the Yankees Tuesday morning ... remembering Hank as a"genuine and gentle spirit."
"He was introduced to the Yankees organization at a very young age, and his love for sports and competition continued to burn brightly throughout his life." The statement continued ..."Hank could be direct and outspoken, but in the very same conversation show great tenderness and light-heartedness. More than anything, he set an example for all of us in how comfortably he lived enjoying his personal passions and pursuits. We are profoundly saddened to have lost him and will carry his memory with us always.
But, while Hank was in charge, he was known for being big and brash like his dad -- never afraid to speak his mind in public."Red Sox Nation?" What a bunch of bush*t that is," Steinbrenner told The New York Times' Play magazine."Go anywhere in America and you won't see Red Sox hats and jackets, you'll see Yankee hats and jackets. This is a Yankee country. We're going to put the Yankees back on top and restore the universe to order.
