Steinbrenner statement on the passing of Christina Green

As the tragic and horrific events of Saturday unfolded, we heard of a Yankee tie early on. ESPN’s Keith Law reported that Christina Green, the nine-year-old who died in the attack, was Dallas Green’s granddaughter, and on Sunday, the one-time Yankee manager opened up to Mike Lupica. Today, the Yankees issued their own statement in support of Green and his family. “The Steinbrenner family and the New York Yankees organization join the entire nation in mourning Christina and send our deepest condolences to Dallas Green and his family as they deal with this tremendous loss,” Hal Steinbrenner said. “This is a tragedy that is beyond words and our thoughts and prayers are with the Green family, as well as all of the affected families.”
