Steinbrenner loved to win. When I was growing up, my Royals and the Yankees were hooking up in the playoffs ( in the 70's ) with my Royals losing each time.

I hated the Yankees back then. However, looking back, George purchased the Yankees and restored the glory back to the team. It wasn't always pretty, but the man did what he thought would produce a winner.

As an adult, I wish more owners had the passion to win like Steinbrenner did.

Present day billionaire owners with no desire to win. I don't get it.

When the Yankees do well, baseball does well. That's the reality of it.
