Agreed. I love George. I always felt like he wants to win as badly as I do. That is what you want out of the owner of your team.

Fat Tony: Your name is Apu Nahasapeemapetilon. You were born in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Your parents are Herb and Judy Nahasapeemapetilon.

Whether you love him or hate him…nobody can take away the huge impact he has made in professional baseball as a whole…good and/or bad. He belongs in the Hall of Fame…and IMO, he certainly will live forever in the shrines of Cooperstown. Chalk up yet another Yankee Legend over there.

I must credit Apu Nahasapeemapetilon for teaching me the way…

You nailed it. I have been a fan since before George, and early on he was truly a blight on the team. While I have affection for him now, back in the day I HATED him with a passion. When he was thrown out of baseball, I literally danced with joy, and punched walls when he was allowed back in. I guess I have forgiven some of his past digressions, but at the time, they seemed unforgivable.

Even if The Boss was paralyzed from the neck down, if his mind was still intact, we would have seen him more and certainly HEARD from him more over the last years. While his physical condition doesn’t look good (and he ain’t young anymore), I have to think he has lost a great deal of his mental capabilities, and he has been shielded from the public eye for what jsbrendog said.

They could have had an audio from him, from Tampa, after #27. The fact that we can’t even hear his voice after a WS victory, tells me he has no voice left.

Maybe the family is afraid if his real condition is revealed, that many will jump ‘on his grave’. But he is a historic figure now, and keeping him locked in a closet may have kept him from getting some accolades, sympathy and the press he deserves.
