Wingnut Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 I saw that about an hour ago. Truthfully, I'm having a hard time being sympathetic. Go Red Sox! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over43 Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 George Steinbrenner did what any owner of any business or team should do, he expected his investments to win. He did what most owners don't do, he put his money where is mouth was. He could be devias (the Dave Winfield scandal), but he could also make fun of himself (SNL 1990/1991). He could be compassionate. The closest thing we have today in the world of sports is, as far as owners are concerned, Mark Cuban. Mark Cuan has yet to win anything. He will be deconstructed historically for years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
