(CNN) -- New York Yankees owner George M. Steinbrenner III -- a larger-than-life figure often called "The Boss" of baseball -- died Tuesday after suffering a massive heart attack. He was 80.

Steinbrenner's family said he was rushed to St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa, Florida, where he died.

"It is with profound sadness that the family of George M. Steinbrenner III announces his passing," the family said in a statement.

2. he did have a good life,
did a bunch of good with some of his money too. I would say, RIP


but he doesn't deserve a heros funeral and today all I heard on the radio was, "george, blah, blah blah" "blah blah blah blah" "money, blah blah"
"yankees blah blah blah"

I mean, it's nice to have multi millions and you can only spend so much, so ya gotta or should give some of it away. Just give me the chance, that's what I'm sayin. You all would be speakin highly of me then, right?
