    R.I.P. Hank Steinbrenner

    Not Corona related
    Yankees Co-Owner Hank Steinbrenner Passes Away

    By Jeff Todd | April 14, 2020 at 10:03am CDT
    Yankees co-owner Hank Steinbrenner has passed away at 63 years of age, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports. His death was caused by a long-running illness and “was not related to COVID-19,” per the report.
    Hank Steinbrenner, the eldest child of long-time Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, had been listed as general partner and co-chairperson of the team along with his brother, Hal Steinbrenner. As Sherman explains, it once seemed that Hank would ultimately take over operation of the team.
    When the patriarch passed away in July of 2010, his four children — including Jennifer Steinbrenner Swindal and Jessica Steinbrenner, each listed by the team as vice chairpersons — became general partners in the ownership of the Yankees. Hal was ultimately tabbed as the managing general partner and has chiefly operated the ballclub over the past decade.

    MLBTR extends its condolences to the Steinbrenner family and the Yankees organization.

    It's a sign of getting old that I remember when a young George Steinbrenner took over the NY Yankees from CBS and now his son dies.

    He died at a relatively young age.

    RIP Hank.

    I think we are all looking forward to being able to give Jacko (and other Yankees fans) a hard time again.
