The George Steinbrenner monument was unveiled, Monday, at Yankee Stadium's Monument Park. Looking at the thing, its size is the most striking factor. It measures 7 feet wide and 5 feet tall and weighs 760 pounds. It's easily the largest thing in the immediate area. Some say it matches his ego, others say that it matches his personality.
You won't get an argument from me. To compare his accomplishments to that of the honored players in the park is unfair. He played a different game.
Personally I would have preferred to see his monument a little larger than the others. It kinda reminds me of the rich guy's tombstone in the cemetery dwarfing the humble markers of the common folk.
That's OK, like they say, to some people, size is important.
