Big Stein Passes On Big Trop Trip
According to Jim Baumbach, George Steinbrenner did not attend the ceremony on March 18th (inducting Big Stein into the Ted Williams Museum and Hitters Hall of Fame). As Jim wrote:
Jennifer Steinbrenner Swindal accepted the award on her father's behalf. Reading from a statement, she said: "I can't thank you enough for this lovely honor. I know of no one who cherishes baseball and our country more than my father. I know that he's just very sad that he couldn't be here tonight."
Tropicana Field is not that far of a trip for George. It's sad to hear that he was not able to make it. I hope he's able to hang in there for all the fun in the Bronx over the next 12 months. He deserves to see it.
