George Steinbrenner Dead, Yankees Looking To Sign New Owner

George Steinbrenner, the owner of the New York Yankees died early today from a heart attack.

According to reports the Yankees have wasted no time in looking for a replacement to take over George Steinbrenner’s position. Sources within the organization have revealed that the team is actively pursuing a number of owners to replace George Steinbrenner as head of the Yankees organization.

The criteria the Yankees are using on this owner search is not unlike what they use when choosing which free agents to sign. They are looking for an owner with a lot of flash and little substance. It would be preferred if he has not won anything of significance in his career, and if they can over pay for his services.

Some of the front runners for the job are Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and Washington Redskins head man Daniel Snyder.
