What’s a Father Figure?
Homage to Mr. Steinbrenner

Much has been written and said about the late George M. Steinbrenner, III.

Growing up in 1970’s…scratch that…1980’s (wink) Brooklyn was quite a unique experience, especially in the summer months. I remember waking up before the sun prepared to bake the ground, maybe even skipping breakfast, and running straight for the garage. It was like kid heaven in there!
