For those of you who don't me, you won't know how big of a Baseball fan I am. For those of you who do know me you know exactly how big of a baseball fan I am. My main team is the San Diego Padres I grew up watching Trevor Hoffman close out games, and Tony Gwyn hitting 3,000 hits. Hell I was even at the game where Tony Gwyn retired his number at Petco Park, and now the number 19 is immortilized in the face of baseball. Wait though there is more to prove to you how big of a fan I am. I shook the hand of Ted Williams before he died, I saw Trevor Hoffman break the closing pitch record, I have autographed Willie Mays baseball bat, along with a autographed Puljos ball. I saw the Padres first World Series against the Yankees even though they lost (I still have the badge ticket).

Now yes I hear about it all the time how much everybody hates the Yankess. I heard this the most especially growing up in a home full of irish bostonites. But today you cant talk shit about the Yankees, mostly because a legend died, George Steinbenner. Trust me I hate the Yankees as mush as anybody, and nobody was happier when they completly sucked! Until George Steinbrenner came along and bought the yankees. He was able to transform a struggling franchise, and turn it into a devilish 7 time champion.

Needless to say a legend in Baseball died today. Even when the sport was changing into a cheating, and illegal substance using sport, George didn't. Today the last remenants of the old game finally drifted away into a better place.
