    First thing he did when he got to Heaven was fire Billy Martin.

    Harvey Pekar and George Steinbrenner, Cleveland born and bred, both pass on in the days after LeBron leaves town.
     
  3. You are assuming Billy Martin went heaven?

    I presume God would let him fire Billy while he was in hell.

    He always uses blue font. Relax. It's not intended like you think it is.

    I don't generally get misty when people who lived as long as Steinbrenner did die, but I will say that I have always wished that the owners of my favorite teams wanted to win as badly as George did. RIP to one of the few people in sports who always put his money where he mouth was.

    And pittsburgher, pastor always writes in the blue font. Part of his schtick for whatever reason.

    God: "Before I let you up here, I have one question."

    Steinbrenner: "Sure."

    God: "Seriously, Jay Buhner for Ken Phelps?"

    Wow tough week for the Yankees. No matter what you think of the man and his methods, he always put winning above all else. RIP.
