"The Yankees are profoundly saddened by the passing of former United States secretary of state Henry Kissinger, who performed varied and vital diplomatic and advisory roles throughout his distinguished career. A lifelong friend of the Yankees organization, he was a frequent welcome guest of the Steinbrenner family at Yankee Stadium. We offer our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and all who had the privilege of knowing him. He will be deeply missed.”

What the actual ...
He was a Secretary of State (not a good one), lived to be 100, and was a friend of the Steinbrenner family. I have no problem with this. It’s the ownership making a statement about a personal friend.
I’d bet he couldn’t hit .200 in his prime.
I wonder if they greeted him when he arrived at the stadium’s executive boxes with something like, “Hey, Hank baby, whatcha know?”
