So as most have heard this morning Yankees owner George Steinbrenner died after a heart attack, So are there any Yankee fans on here that want to weigh in on how new york is taking this or what your favorite memories are of him or any other baseball fans that want to share there opinion of him?

I just remember how they portrayed him on Seinfeld every time I think of him. He was a rich man...and he will be missed!

I wonder if the beard policy will stay?

Im not really a huge baseball fan but i know all the main players etc. Mauer, Jeter, Ortiz etc (just thought id point that out incase i say something stupid about baseball)

And i just read somewere that he made players shave and that they couldnt have long hair etc. I cant imagine a owner making his players do that so i was wondering if it was true?

Yes, it's true and it is still done within the Yankee organization. The most facial hair a player could have is a mustache and your hair must be relatively short and well kept. He felt that playing for the Yankees was a job so you must dress and appear professionally.

Yea, He had the facial hair rule of the military. Clean shaven but you could have a mustache as long as it was trimmed neatly.

but he made a lot of mistakes in his career, and I cant even say I like the way he owned and managed the team. But it is sad to see him go.

I was just watching Seinfeld not 5 minutes before i read this thread, it was the episode "The Jimmy" and there is a hilarious scene with George Steinbrenner (the Seinfeld version) my day today has been full of coincidences.
