Steinbrenner ballpark renovation donation

[flsportsfan83]

as much as I hate the Yanks he has been great for the Bulls

[JoeB]

Yep, its probably similar.  Green Jacket (mid '80s)= Iron Bull (mid '00s).  I doubt that he cancelled it.  He's a big player in the Tampa area, so I'm sure he still is a supporter.

[Velcro]

He hasn't cancelled.  He still has his own parking spot in the donor lot.

Someone told me once that Steinbrenner and EC don't care for each other. I was told that it goes back to the days when the Tampa Yankees practiced at the red. If EC was to go, George would be the first person I went to for a recommendation on who to hire.

Florida went to Steinbrenner and the Yankees org to imply about who to hire for there opening 4-5 years ago whenever it was. The paper said they hired one of the VPs best friends who was coaching at Mississippi St.

There is a guy named Steve Webber who was the coach at UGA and worked as a field coach for the Yankees minor league system after he left there. I wonder what he's up to.

Donated 4K dollars to Betty Castors US Senate Campaign.  I opened the envelope that had the check.

No autographs please (sarcasm)

thats odd.... He's a huge republican supporter. Don't know why he would have supported Castor

yeah like he is good at that or something. when he does not listen to the baseball people around him he screws everything up. guy is a ***** with money. love it they spend tons of money and will not win again this year. sign some more over the hill pitchers hahahahha.

not true at all --he is not a huge republican supporter.   He supports both parties.  Pretty much stays out of the fray by giving money to both sides.
