He completely changed the mechanics of pro sports, and not just baseball. The huge player salaries and the subsequent league revenue sharing plans can be directly attributed to him. He made a lot of people very rich.

RIP Boss. As a Yankees fan for the last 13 years you were an icon and a staple in that clubhouse! You will be missed by many!

Rest in peace, Boss. For every negative thing that could be said of you, two positive ones would need follow to be fair. After failing to acquire your beloved Cleveland Indians, you paid a pittance to CBS for the storied-yet-downtrodden Yankees. Then, despite the fact that you were far from the richest owner in the sport, you built them back into a second dynasty . . . and caught hell for it from the owners and fans of more frugal, less successful teams. Your business sense informed you that one must spend money to make money, and your love of the game gave you the passion to pursue the ultimate goal, again and again and again. Under your ownership the Yankees managed to win more post-season games than most teams have even played, and that is something your detractors cannot take from you.

Thank you, George. You will be missed.
