Thank you George for being you and bringing your insatiable thirst to win to our beloved New York Yankees.

Long live the Empire.
I know here I go on a light hearted thread.

GS was great from an entertainment point of view, the ranting the raving, calling Hideki Irabu a "fat toad", all that.

But heres the sad thing to me. GS consumed his life in making the yankees winners, and he succeeded. Bravo. He worked and worked, even when his teams reached the top it was never enough, he continued to push and push. He presided over two yankees dynasties (70's & 90's) early 2000's weren't bad either. He gave his life for the yankees, and as I said had great success.

But big deal. Does ANY of it matter now? Now he has only Christ to face, and neither money nor world series rings will matter. He who answered to nobody, will now find out he never was "the boss".

He who is famous for controversy, profanity and unrepentant fits of rage, now goes to face the Prince of Peace himself, and no one in monument park can interceed for him.

It is a sad day to be a yankee fan (which I am not), but it is a sadder day to realize that you can gain everything in this world, and in the end lose your soul.

I'm not GS's judge, and I'm not trying to be, my comments are only based on the persona I have known him to display. There is one judge, and he alone is fair and righteous in judgmment, knowing the heart, thoughts, and intents of all men.
