He was always charitable.
maybe but doesn't change the fact that with all the **** he was consistently involved, there is no reason for anyone other than Yankee fans to shed a tear for this guy, he only did baseball a disservice
Most people in baseball will argue the opposite. He set the bar for other teams to be competitive and spend their money to "keep up" rather than pocketing their profits, so most people thank him for making their teams better. Do you think the Red Sox would have been as likely to spend all the money they have in the past decade if they weren't in direct competition with the Yankees? Probably not.
Unfortunately for you, your crap team decides to spend the money usually in the wrong places. Your anger should be directed at your front office, not at Steinbrenner.
Also, do some research to find his history as a charitable man, because you come off as very ignorant in that aspect.
