It's definitely a sad day in the sports world as we lose another icon. Steinbrenner had a heart attack, was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa, Fla., and died at about 6:30 a.m. ET, according to multiple reports. George built the Yankees from ground up. In fact, in 37-plus seasons as owner, Steinbrenner led the Yankees to seven World Series championships, 11 American League pennants and 16 AL East titles. He changed the game of the franchise by starting his own television network and ballpark food company. Forbes now values the Yankees at $1.6 billion, trailing only Manchester United ($1.8 billion) and the Dallas Cowboys ($1.65 billion).The Steinbrenner family said that funeral arrangements will be private; however, details about an additional public service will be announced at a later date. He is gone but he will not be forgotten at all. R.I.P to a legend
