Not a Yankee fan but you have to love a guy who is wiling to do what it takes to win. I'm sure he'll get a lot of 'hate' that is unwarrented. Most sports fan would love an owner who spent money to improve his team. Not like some owners who just sit on their wallets and collect the money given to thm in revenue sharing. God bless Boss.

Very true. Whether you liked him or not so much, he was a true fan and contributed to the sport he loved and he'll be missed. RIP Boss.
