RIP George.
What? He did it for the kids? Well i guess he wasn't a superdip that held baseball back.
I also say RIP butttttttttt he was not a legenary figure of the game because he did not play the game, he only had the money to buy a baseball team. He was the owner of my team I always wanted to win. YANKEES
Held baseball back from what??
Greedy in owners that pocketed his money in luxory tax??
A cap would change nothing in baseball
The top teams would spend to the limit and everyone else would still play it cheap..
All it would do is lower player salaries, something the union would never let happen..

sad he is dead
but you are right
his sons are stupid
Sucks for his family and friends and for the Yankees organization.
I wouldn't necessarily say it's sad. When a man lives to 80 and had a lot of success and wealth, assuming his personal life wasn't horrible, I don't think it's sad except for those close to him, family and friends. Death isn't always a said thing. It's inevitable. A lot of people don't have the chance to live that type of life or live to be 80 years old.
And while people want to be nice in the wake of his passing, I don't think he was good for baseball. I think his mentality and approach to over-spending hurt baseball as much as it helped bring back the Yankees. He helped kill the small market teams. He helped kill fairness and parity. You can call him a visionary and a man who cared more about winning than anything else and those might be positive things about him. But everything he was about did not necessarily help the game of baseball. He also hurt baseball.
should be a hard cap in baseball
no disrespect, but why is it a must that we say "RIP" every time someone dies..
Why do you call yourself MMA King, when you're a twerpy little wigger who would get stomped by Macaulay Culkin?
Well, the original le of the thread was "lol George Steinbrenner" but then your little spandex buddy who's a Spurs/Yankees/mmgay fan got really offended by me making fun of someone he's never met and never will meet (lol dead), so he complained to timvp and had the le changed.
btw if dallaskd is mmgay king does that make dbreiden the mmgay queen?
His sons just saved an estimated $500 MILLION dollars in estate taxes because their father died in 2010 and not 2011.
