Considering his philantropy, this Lib (and die-hard Yankee fan), is fine with his estate not paying this tax, loophole or for otherwise. The man was a giving machine off the field. It's what, before his return to glory, made me a big fan of the man. I'd point out that after incidents such as the VA Tech shooting and Katrina, "The Boss" gave ahead of MLB, and when the league did make contributions, they equaled the donations of the Yankees. One team gave a million each time, and the league with 30 teams (of which the Yanks were still one) matched it, instead of passing it.

Earlier, even during his ban from the game, he still helped the various communities he was part of. Never publicized. I found out about it from a high school coach/eventual co-worker, who worked for a little league that George gave night lights to for their field. Never a peep in the media. He was close to anonymous. And I would point out it was the city of Tampa, not he or his family, that decided to name the Yankees spring facility after him for all he had done for the region.

Goodbye George. You will be missed for all you did for people, the Yanks and baseball.
