Steinbrenner's Biggest Impact Was On The Fans

George Steinbreners greatest impact was on the fans of the New York Yankees.

On the day that "The Boss" passed away after a massive heart attack I had the the opportunity to chat with numerous fans who came out to pay their respects at "the house that George built." After talking to fans of the Bronx Bombers it was evident that Steinbrenner would be in their hearts and minds forever.

George Steinbrenner's Death: There Will Never Be Another Like Him

When news broke out that Yankees' owner George Steinbrenner had passed Tuesday morning, I predictably got a few texts from friends asking if I was planning on writing about “The Boss.”

At first I hesitated; too much had happened before I was even born. I had never met him in person. What perspective could I possibly give, that a million other writers couldn’t?

George Steinbrenner: A True New York Yankees Legend

Ironically enough, I was in the Yankees Clubhouse Store in New York City when I heard about the passing of Yankees owner George Steinbrenner.

As I browsed player t-shirts while watching ESPN, I began to realize what an impact Steinbrenner had on the Yankees.

Love him or hate him, he is a legend. Period.

Steinbrenner knew what he wanted, and he was not afraid to go after it.

The sports world lost a legend today, when former Yankees owner George Steinbrenner passed away at the age of 80.

Having taken the reigns in 1973, Steinbrenner saw a great numbers of players play under him in over 30 seasons as team owner, and what follows are the 15 best Yankees of the Steinbrenner era.

Fallen From Grace: Has Everyone Forgotten About Nick Adenhart?

The excitement of tonight's All-Star Game in Anaheim has been somewhat silenced with the passings of Yankees announcer Bob Sheppard and today's announcement of the death of Yankees owner George Steinbrenner.

Even with the Mid-Summer Classic happening across the country, the baseball world sympathizes with the New York Yankees.

However, the city of Los Angeles, mainly the Angels organization, still has a heavy heart and a fresh wound from the loss of pitcher Nick Adenhart last season.

George Steinbrenner Passes Away At 80 But Leaves A Lasting Legacy In MLB

In the same week, the New York Yankees have suffered two heart breaking losses. The first to pass away was long time public address announcer Bob Sheppard, at 99 years old.

Sheppard passed away on July 11th, and two days later long time Yankees owner George Steinbrenner followed him. Heading into the 2010 Major League Baseball All-Star break, Yankee fans and the organization will have heavy hearts.

Remembering the life of George Steinbrenner is a monumental challenge. Steinbrenner lived a full life that was not just confined to being the owner of the Yankees.

Baseball Hit Hard; George Steinbrenner Passes Away at 80.

The New York Yankees sent seven players to Angel Stadium for the All-Star game. This past week they've sent two legends to Angel heaven. Baseball lost a legend today and he's looking down on us now.

The problem is, most people looked down on him during his ownership career that began in 1973. What a career it was. As a young Yankees fan I sit here and try to write this but something doesn't feel right. As I watch current players Andy Pettite and Alex Rodriguez along with current coach Joe Girardi speak about Mr. Steinbrenner's passing one thing stands out to me.

Love Him or Hate Him, George Steinbrenner Was a Winner

I never liked George Steinbrenner.  As a fan of a different team in the AL East, it was virtually impossible to like the man who helped keep every other team in that division out of the playoffs.

I also could never hate him.  If anything, I was jealous.  Who wouldn't want all those championships sitting in a case in their stadium?

No, there was only one true feeling I had for "The Boss":

Respect.
