ESPN now confirming he has gone on to join Billy Martin in that great ballpark in the sky.

Rest in Peace Big George. I was never a Yankee fan but you always brought excitement & interest to the game. Baseball will forever owe you a debt of gratitude.

I wasn't a George fan either, always thought he was responsible for salaries spiraling out of control. But the guy was, without question, a real character that provided a lot of great moments, something that's lacking in pro sports these days.
