End of a Yankee ERA!

G'day Everyone.

Today marks a day that Major League Baseball (MLB) has just gotten equal for all baseball teams out there.
Finally, the New York Yankees were rocked by the second death in many days. Sunday's passing was of the Yankee Stadium announcer Bob Sheppard.

Today, Yankees' owner and boss for the team. George Steinbrenner, died of a massive heart attack. Link: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/bbo_obit_steinbrenner

In other words: the Yankees finally lost the man, who was the power, behind the team. Friends and rivals alike all hoped that just one day Steinbrenner would just step away and stay away from the Yankees. He wouldn't. He was too much involved.

Now and finally, baseball for the Yankees is going to be playing an all new game after the all-star games are over. Which means: Will the Philadelphia Philles and Boston Red Sox finally tromp on the Yankees more? Will more teams win the World Series more now other than the Yankees? It may be that time now.

So Steinbrenner, boss man, it is with regret for all of us to see you gone. But your time had come and now baseball must do better for the same of the game with out you. May God bless the SteinBrenner family and comfort them.

Baseball will no longer be the same after this.

Semper FI.

(My apologies for my friend who loves the Yankees. I know this is difficult for him too).
