    Yankees' Steinbrenner dies at 80..


    Longtime New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner died Tuesday morning, his family confirmed in a statement.

    "It is with profound sadness that the family of George M. Steinbrenner III announces his passing. He passed away this morning in Tampa, Fla., at age 80," the family said in a statement.

    "He was an incredible and charitable man. First and foremost he was devoted to his entire family -- his beloved wife, Joan; his sisters, Susan Norpell and Judy Kamm, his children, Hank, Jennifer Jessica and Hal; and all of his grandchildren.

    The end of a ERA for the NY Yankees, but a new one will surely begin

    He was definitely an icon. My prayers and heartfelt sympathy go out to his family. And I am not a Yankee fan.

    One thing no one can deny.... he put his money and resources into producing a successful product, and the Yankees have certainly been successful under his ownership. He will be missed, but the franchise will survive.

    Rest in peace Mr. Steinbrenner, and thank you.

    Peace
