New York Yankees co-owner Hank Steinbrenner died Tuesday at the age of 63, his family announced in a team-issued statement.
The club noted the cause of death was a "longstanding health issue."
"Hank was a genuine and gentle spirit who treasured the deep relationships he formed with those closest to him," the Steinbrenner family said. "He was introduced to the Yankees organization at a very young age, and his love for sports and competition continued to burn brightly throughout his life.
"More than anything, he set an example for all of us in how comfortably he lived enjoying his personal passions and pursuits."
