We have the following statement from YES Network on the passing of George Steinbrenner.
Following is a statement from Mr. Tracy Dolgin, the president and CEO of the YES Network, on the passing of George M. Steinbrenner III:“We at YES are saddened by the passing of George M. Steinbrenner. He was a New York icon and a sports icon, a true visionary who will be greatly missed. His vision of a team-owned regional sports network for the Yankees, resulting in the formation of the YES Network, revolutionized the sports business. Mr. Steinbrenner’s influence on the world of sports is tremendous, and will be felt long after he’s gone. Our prayers and thoughts go out to the Steinbrenner family and the Yankees organization.”
