    Yankees GEORGE STEINBRENNER LIVES - note it in the record

    Boss sighting, 8:32:32 PM, July 15, 2008. Yankee Stadium. Duly noted in the record.

    He's alive. My theory was wrong. He looks very handicapped though. Didn't get up.

    He didn't look well at all. He looks like he has had a stroke... I know this has been rumored for a while. He looked kinda out of it. Regardless of whether you love or hate the guy, he is a Hall of Famer.

    I agree on both counts. He looked extremely pale, and either a stroke or some serious Alzheimer's is or is about to get to him.

    I hate the guy. But the man is an economic and business genius. You'd be hardpressed to find a better businessman in the entire world. If you don't agree, you only need look to one of the more successful purchases in the history of this great Earth. Buying the Yankees for $10 mil. Not too shabby considering what they're worth now.

    My problem was they propped him up as if he was babe Ruth. I appreciate george has spent money but he has also ruined many teams over the years by meddling and it's his fault we are leaving these historic grounds for a new house of greed across the street.

    He appeared to be quite emotional, which is common for those that have had strokes. It is possible he has suffered one without telling us.
    It was, however, a good tribute to him to have him deliver the baseballs to the HOFers to throw our at the beginning of the game.
    I agree that he should be enshrined. He has done a lot for the game, both good and bad, but overall, his influence has been positive.
