According to The New York Times obit on Steinbrenner, he bought the Yankees only after his attempt to purchase the Indians failed. Say what you want about Steinbrenner, but I have to believe the Indians would have won at least one World Series - probably more - if Steinbrenner's purchase had gone through. I gotta think he would have kept on spending and firing until they were championship contenders.StvMgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-80178454224080803532010-07-13T14:46:18.000-04:002010-07-13T14:46:18.000-04:00As I said on FB, RIP to the Lord Voldemort of base...As I said on FB, RIP to the Lord Voldemort of baseball.Meghannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-82340657359173898172010-07-13T14:44:33.000-04:002010-07-13T14:44:33.000-04:00This is my favorite take on Steinbrenner and his p...This is my favorite take on Steinbrenner and his passing that I've read:<br /><br /><a href="http://tomatonation.com/baseball/squared-up-not-the-same-as-the-old-boss/" rel="nofollow">http://tomatonation.com/baseball/squared-up-not-the-same-as-the-old-boss/</a>patricianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-75892881941540665772010-07-13T13:05:39.000-04:002010-07-13T13:05:39.000-04:00Yeah, re: Pekar, Cleveland has had a much worse we...Yeah, re: Pekar, Cleveland has had a much worse week, I'd contend, than Yankees fans.
