Born on the Fourth of July, George Steinbrenner left the world stage with a great sense of timing too.
According to multiple reports, Steinbrenner -- who turned 80-years old on July 4th -- was rushed to St. Joseph's hospital in Tampa where he was later pronounced dead.
Steinbrenner's death Tuesday came during an unplanned year-long gap in the estate tax, the first since it was enacted in 1916. Political wrangling has stalemated efforts in Congress to replace the tax that expired in 2009.
Steinbrenner -- a U.S. Navy veteran -- retired from running the Yankees in 2006 ... leaving his sons Hank and Hal to run the team.
Since Steinbrenner took over the team in 1973, the Yankees locked up 11 pennants and 7 World Series titles.
The rep said, "Funeral arrangements will be private. There will be an additional public service with details to be announced at a later date."
