George Steinbrenner died Tuesday morning, a person close to the longtime New York Yankees owner told The Associated Press.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team had not yet made the announcement.
The New York Daily News reported that Steinbrenner died around 6:30 a.m. ET Tuesday in Tampa, Fla.
WABC-TV in New York reported that Steinbrenner, the Yankees' owner since 1973, suffered a massive heart attack.
According to reports, Steinbrenner, who celebrated his 80th birthday on July 4, was taken to a Tampa hospital after emergency crews responded to his home Monday night.
Steinbrenner gave his sons, Hal and Hank, day-to-day control of the team in late 2007.
He told The Associated Press last week that he was "feeling good" after spending a couple hours in his office at the Yankees' spring training complex.
Under his ownership, the Yankees have won 11 AL pennants and seven World Series titles.

LOL, you should know more about the history of your team. When George was calling the shots everyone hated him. When it was announced he was expelled from baseball the Yankees fans gave a standing ovation. He constantly alienated his players and coaches, and was the reason the Yankees had no success in the 80's and early 90's. Nobody wanted to play under him, do the research my man. He was like Al Davis X 100 (the present version). He would pay reporters to dish out dirt on his players. Just cause he passed doesn't mean I'm gonna go and act like he was some great guy, cause he really wasn't. The only reason the Yankees have been successful in recent years is cause he finally stepped down and stopped fucking everything up.
