The Boss is dead, long live the Boss. George Steinbrenner died this morning at the age of 80. The longtime owner of the New York Yankees wasn't the best owner in sports (the seeds of the Yankees' current dynasty were actually sown while he was suspended from the game), but he was unquestionably the greatest. Doubt that? Well let's just say Dame Dash never said he was "the John Henry of this shit." (Who? Exactly. He's one of the Red Sox owners.) After the jump, check our index of George Steinbrenner-ana, as we pay tribute to one of the true titans of our time.
