Curmudgeon

I'm in one of those moods today, so I have to say that I don't give a damn about Larry King or his successor, and while I don't want to speak ill of the dead, George Steinbrenner's death only leaves me wanting to watch Larry David's impression of him in all those great "Seinfeld" episodes. But given Steinbrenner's churlish behavior over the years, and the fact that you have to mortgage your home to afford a ticket to Yankee Stadium these days, I'm not shedding any tears, either.
Branch Rickey was a baseball executive to admire. Not George Steinbrenner.
