The Steinbrenner Playlist
I grew up a Red Sox fan. I’ve lived in both Baltimore and Tampa Bay. So it’s fair to say that at no point in my life have I cheered for the New York Yankees. But when I heard the news about George Steinbrenner’s passing, a genuine sadness washed over me. My first thought: Guys like that don’t die at 80. They tell Father Time to take a hike. The world needs complex people to thrive, and he was certainly that. Big Stein was proud to be from Tampa, so here are a few songs in his honor:
You’re Fired, Bratmobile
The Winner Takes It All, ABBA
Moneytalks, AC/DC
Tougher Than the Rest, Bruce Springsteen
The Boss, Diana Ross
