RIP George Steinbrenner

It's finally happened...Der Fuhrer von Steinbrenner has passed to his reward.

I wasn't sure I'd live to see this day.

Not too sure about "his reward", but he was a big deal with a lot of quarters in his pocket.

Word is, once he passed into the next world he re-hired Billy Martin. Or maybe he fired him - I'm not sure which. But we've had thunderstorms all day.

What I heard is that St. Peter is now worrying about his job security. If Steinbrenner could fire Billy Martin . . .

If Bob Shephard was "The Voice of God" and Steinbrenner was his boss, doesn't that make him (Steinbrenner) God...

Yes, but that was my assumption all along. Did you have any other idea?

Curt Flood was/is a big deal and a fascinating subject but here's a dizzying spin I could live without. Ack!
