Boss in the Hall?

It's been a couple of days since the passing of Yankee owner George Steinbrenner. By now we've learned just about everything we can possibly learn about the Boss and one question I have is: "Does George Steinbrenner belong in the Hall of Fame?"

It's an interesting question and quite frankly I don't know what the answer is.

I'm not sure any owner belongs in the Hall of Fame, but if any owner does, perhaps Steinbrenner is one that belongs.

He bought a franchise for roughly $10 million (only a couple hundred thousand was his own money) and turned it into a global empire worth billions of dollars.

I'm sure the question will be asked many times over the coming weeks, months, years. I'll be interested to see the final result.
