Yankees owner George Steinbrenner died on Tuesday at age 80.
Monday night, Steinbrenner was taken to the hospital from his Tampa, FL home after suffering a massive heart attack. He died early Tuesday morning.
Steinbrenner bought the Yankees in 1973, with the team winning seven World Series during his 37-year tenure. Over the years, he achieved an almost larger-than-life status, with a fictional version of himself becoming a character on Seinfeld.
Steinbrenner’s death comes just days after the death of former Yankee public address announcer Bob Sheppard.
