Hank Steinbrenner has passed away at the age of 63 at his home in Clearwater, Florida.

Steinbrenner had been in poor health in recent years.

Steinbrenner was 15 years old when his father, George Steinbrenner, purchased the New York Yankees in 1973. Steinbrenner briefly worked in the team’s front office in the mid-1980s as an apprentice, of sorts, to the team’s general managers.

Steinbrenner recently became involved in auto racing with his son.
