WIKI: The September 11 attacks (often referred to as September 11th or 9/11) were a series of coordinated suicide attacks by al-Qaeda upon the United States on September 11, 2001. On that morning, 19 al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners.[2][3] The hijackers intentionally crashed two of the airliners into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, killing everyone on board and many others working in the buildings. Both buildings collapsed within two hours, destroying nearby buildings and damaging others. The hijackers crashed a third airliner into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C. The fourth plane crashed into a field near Shanksville in rural Pennsylvania after some of its passengers and flight crew attempted to retake control of the plane, which the hijackers had redirected toward Washington, D.C. There were no survivors from any of the flights.

Major League Baseball lost a powerful figure on Tuesday morning, as New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner died following a massive heart attack at his home in Tampa, Florida.

Steinbrenner grew up in Ohio and did not get involved into sports until his early 20’s attending Williams College in Massachusetts from 1949-1952.

At Williams, Steinbrenner was on the track team, played halfback on the varsity football team and also served as sports editor for the school’s newspaper.

He also spent some time in the Air Force before earning his master’s degree at Ohio State University.
