That is the statue that was unveiled outside of Steinbrenner Field in Tampa last week and not only is it the coolest-looking honorary statue in the history of sports just for the way it looks, it has heaps of added badassery thanks to the inclusion of a championship ring on The Boss' left hand.
What a perfect way to honor Steinbrenner and capture what he was all about. The guy didn't give a fuck what anybody thought about him or his practices, he just wanted to win. And to include a reminder of that goal in the statue is pretty cool indeed. Not to mention that the statue itself actually looks like him, unlike the Michael Jordan one outside the United Center or the Bobby Orr one in Boston.
Even in death, The Boss still kicks more ass than just about anybody.
