Hank Steinbrenner, co-owner of the New York Yankees, has reportedly died at age 63. According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, Steinbrenner died at his home in Florida after a long illness that was not related to COVID-19.

Steinbrenner is the eldest son of famous Yankees owner and chairman George Steinbrenner, who died in 2010, and brother to Yankees principal owner and managing partner Hal Steinbrenner.

Steinbrenner was known to be outspoken and colorful character when he was involved with the team. Back in 2008 he called Red Sox Nation “a bunch of bull****.”

"That was a creation of the Red Sox and ESPN, which is filled with Red Sox fans,” he told the New York Times’ Play magazine, via ESPN. "Go anywhere in America and you won't see Red Sox hats and jackets, you'll see Yankee hats and jackets. This is a Yankee country. We're going to put the Yankees back on top and restore the universe to order."

2. I'm in Idaho. I'd say you see more Sox gear out here easily. Pesonal friends, it's about even.

We're mostly Mariner fans around here for all the good that ever does us.

3. He was a hothead

with bad habits (ie smoking). Kind of like his dad without the discipline. Put Hank and Hal together and it adds up to George.

Anyway, Hank was harmless. RIP.
