Bill Madden Believes NYers Will Remember Steinbrenner For His 'Kinder, Gentler' Side

The world of baseball continues to commemorate the life of George Steinbrenner and today, acclaimed NY Daily News sportswriter Bill Madden came by our studio to discuss Steinbrenner's lasting legacy on this all-American sport.

Madden is the author of several books such as, Damned Yankees: A No-Holds-Barred Account of Life with 'Boss' Steinbrenner, and Steinbrenner: The Last Lion of Baseball. He describes Steinbrenner's complex personality and fearless attitude towards winning. He tackled many business ventures and is described by Madden as a "visionary when it came to television, especially local television."

Steinbrenner was also a great benefactor to children's causes and Madden believes "the way he'll be remembered is a kinder, and gentler George."

"George was made for New York," said Madden. Indeed, Steinbrenner has made a lasting impact not only in New York, but in the entire world of baseball, and his legacy shall never be forgotten.
