Yankees co-owner Hank Steinbrenner dead at 63
BY JOE PANTORNO
New York Yankees
co-owner Hank Steinbrenner
has died at the
age of 63 after a long
battle with an illness,
the team announced on
Tuesday.
The illness was not related
to the coronavirus.
“Hank was a genuine
and gentle spirit who
treasured the deep relationships
he formed with
those closest to him,” the
Steinbrenner family released
in a statement.
“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. Hank could
be direct and outspoken,
but in the very same conversation
show great
tenderness and lightheartedness.
More than
anything, he set an example
for all of us in how
comfortably he lived enjoying
his personal passions
and pursuits. We
are profoundly saddened
Making Sense of the Census
BRONX TIMES R 24 EPORTER, APR. 17-23, 2020 BTR
to have lost him and will
carry his memory with
us always.”
Hank was the eldest
son of Yankees’ long-time
owner, George Steinbrenner,
who purchased
the team in 1973 and
helped return the franchise
to the mountaintop
of Major League Baseball.
When George Steinbrenner’s
health began
to fail before his death
in 2010, Hank and his
brother, Hal, began to
take over the team.
Hank quickly assumed
the role of an outspoken
Yankees owner,
much like his father, regularly
creating headlines
for the tabloids whenever
he stepped in front of the
microphone.
But Hank’s illness
forced him to take a step
back from the spotlight
in recent years, allowing
Hal to become the fi gurehead
of the Yankees’ ownership
group.
During that time, he
continued to be active in
the family horse-racing
business in Ocala, FL
and in 2016, he founded
Steinbrenner Racing
alongside his son, George
Michael IV, which now
competes on the Indy Car
circuit.
He is survived by
four children, daughters
Jacqueline and Julia,
and sons George Michael
IV and John, one
granddaughter, Anabel,
and his siblings, Jennifer,
Jessica and Hal, and
their families.

By Julie Menin, Director of NYC Census
2020 and Bitta Mostofi, Commissioner of the
Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs
The census is for everyone, and this
Immigrant Heritage Week, we’re launching
a new way for immigrant communities
to learn about it! This week, NYC
Census 2020 and the Mayor’s Office of
Immigrant Affairs launched two new We
Speak NYC educational videos, in partnership
with the City University of New
York, to explain the importance of participating
in the census.
In a city with more than 200 languages
spoken, and where nearly half of our 3.1
million immigrant New Yorkers have
limited English proficiency, We Speak
NYC, NYC’s English language learning
program, is a key resource for New Yorkers
to learn about city services, practice
their English conversation skills, and
build community. So while New Yorkers
are gaining new language skills, it’s also
a great opportunity to get the facts about
the 2020 Census in one fell swoop.
The new videos emphasize that
the census is for everyone and that it’s
safe, easy, and vitally important to our
communities. The more of us who are
counted, the more money and resources
our communities receive to provide for
us. And importantly, they also highlight
that there is no immigration or citizenship
question on the census and that responses
are completely confidential.
This new partnership also comes at
a crucial time. Immigrant communities
have been gravely impacted by COVID-19,
but they are also at a high risk of going
undercounted. Our hospitals, healthcare,
emergency services, and other
public services all depend on the census
for funding and resources — a complete
count could not be more critical for our
communities’ health and future.
Fortunately, this new partnership
can help close that gap by speaking directly
to immigrant communities and
helping to combat the fear and misinformation
around the 2020 Census. And
most importantly, these videos will give
viewers both the facts and the language
they need to support a complete count in
their own communities.
Remember, the census is about all of
us, and the only way we can make sure
our city gets what we deserve is by helping
to get our families, friends, and neighbors
counted. Do your part and let’s make
it count!
