God Bless him, he is what every owner inspires to be. 

Now the All Star game is going to be a Yankee tribute, though.

You might hate the Yankees (I know I do)

But you can't question how much passion the man had for his team and for baseball in general, and his contributions to the game in each level.

Even to helping USF and putting the lights up in Red McEwen

RIP. The Yankees are a Global Brand b/c of his vision. First team to launch their own network. A true American Capitalist.
