The New York Yankees baseball team offers condolences and sympathy to Dallas Green and his family on the loss of Dallas' granddaughter Christina Green, who was killed in the recent Tucson shootings.

Hal Steinbrenner, the team's managing general partner, said: “The Steinbrenner family and the New York Yankees organization join the entire nation in mourning Christina and send our deepest condolences to Dallas Green and his family as they deal with a tremendous loss. This is a tragedy that is beyond words. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Green family, as well as all the affected families.”
