Upon hearing about the passing of New York Yankees principal owner George M. Steinbrenner early Tuesday morning, the last few days have been filled with great emotion and personal reflection. The relationship I shared with “the Boss” is one that both heartens and comforts me in this difficult time. He meant so much to so many people, and I will always cherish him as a leader, a winner and a friend.

I am taking this time to reflect on the enormous and lasting imprint that Mr Steinbrenner made within the game of baseball, throughout the Yankees organization and in my life.
