Is Harry Smith Under Investigation?
RIP George Steinbrenner. We all loved to hate, or hated to love George.
Only hours after Harry Smith opined that his favorite Seinfeld Episode was when George and George (Costanza and Steinbrenner) started sleeping under their desks, the big man is dead! I'm pretty sure an investigation of any role Harry played in the death is underway. Several of us have ponied up some cash for a Defense Fund or at least ensuring that Harry gets a good cell mate. One prominent group member also speculates that Harry may end up in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. In that case, all Defense Fund monies will be returned, and he is on his own.
In all seriousness, George Steinbrenner was a life-long friend to Track and Field. Coach Groves once convinced George to donate $1,000,000 to the Penn Relays at a precarious time in its history. His father, Henry Steinbrenner, was a 1928 Olympic Hurdler. MIT's track is named after Henry, a 1927 graduate.
