Sad...
New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner died this morning, after reportedly suffering a massive heart attack in his Florida home last night.
Steinbrenner turned 80 on July 4 and said he was “feeling good” last week during a visit to the Yankees spring training grounds in Florida.
“The Boss,” as he is sometimes called, has owned the Yankees since 1973, though his declining health forced him to hand over day-to-day operations of the team to his sons Hal and Hank in 2007.
Under his ownership, the Yankees have appeared in the World Series 11 times, winning seven titles, including the 2009 championship.
Sad, sad…
One time when I was in college, I went down to the deli below my dorm to buy some bottled water, and there was this huge line…
But, you know, I didn’t mind waiting…
So, after about 10 minutes in line, this woman ran in and said she was in a crazy rush, and gathered up about $60 worth of deli fare (which isn’t easy) and proceeded to wait for her turn at the register.
Since I had nothing to do, I offered for her to cut me on line (which made everyone behind me hate my guts immediately), and she gladly accepted, then told me to pick up everything in the store that I thought I might “need for the week”…
I couldn’t really think of anything, so I picked up the “expensive” quilted toilet paper and a package of Twinkies, and she paid for them, along with all of my other stuff…
I told her she didn’t have to be so generous, and she said, “Oh, you like the Yankees?”, and I said “Sort of, I’m gay…”…
And she responded, “Oh, my uncle’s George Steinbrenner, we got plenty of dough…”, then she jumped into an idling SUV…
Best toilet paper and Twinkies, ever.
Rest in Peace, George.
