Good time to have a spokesman, I guess.

Now he gets to hire and fire Billy Martin in the big field in the sky.

RIP, George.

From a tax perspective, also a "fortunate" time to pass away. There is no estate tax in 2010. So his kids get his whole fortune, including the Yankees, tax free. Caveat: I don't the guys finances. But he obviously was a rich guy.

The world mourns.... okay maybe not.

Not to sound morbid or anything, but this has been brought up on a Buffalo Bills podcast about Ralph Wilson and the status of the Bills.

I too hate the yankees but I gotta respect all the rings that man collected with his time.
