GEORGE STEINBRENNER; YANKEES OWNER DIED.

George Steinbrenner, the owner of the New York Yankees, whose pugnacious leadership restored the glory of baseball's most storied franchise, helped secure seven World Series titles and made the Yankees the first billion-dollar baseball franchise, died Tuesday at a hospital in Tampa after a heart attack. Mr. Steinbrenner, who turned 80 on July 4, had been in failing health for several years and had turned day-to-day management of the team over to his sons.  20070803george gal_steinbrenner-2 george-steinbrenner-0209-lg-57612340 steinbrenner 1 george-steinbrenner01 cropin-face sz299
