STATEMENT FROM THE GLAZER FAMILY ON THE PASSING OF GEORGE STEINBRENNER
“The sports world and Tampa community have lost a legend and a friend. George was one of the most consequential and colorful executives in sports history. He helped restore his proud franchise to its unique place in sports and society. However, his greatest contributions weren’t those that graced the sports page. He was a caring, gentle giant in our community. George will be sorely missed.”
