This is weird as hell.

Classless joke to follow.

Well this is one way for Steinbrenner to trim the payroll.

I agree but he would have been an idiot to have his small child flying with him when he was just learning to fly. I assumed that they were people in the building. This is tragic but flying small planes is inherently dangerous and I'm sure his family will be taken care of nicely.

Too bad it wasn't Eli Manning instead of this poor guy.

CNN was reporting that he was alone on the plane.

I'm a Yanks fan and I was thinking the same thing. Still, terrible way to go, poor guy. RIP.

Check this article out from back in September...

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/08/sports/baseball/08yankees.html?ex=1315368000&en=f488e3344c30a4f4&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss

He is Cory Lidle, who has been a major league pitcher for nine years and a pilot for seven months. He earned his pilot’s license last off-season and bought a four-seat airplane for $187,000. It is a Cirrus SR20, built in 2002, with fewer than 400 hours in the air.

A player-pilot is still a sensitive topic for the Yankees, whose captain, Thurman Munson, was killed in the crash of a plane he was flying in 1979. Lidle, acquired from the Philadelphia Phillies on July 30, said his plane was safe.

“The whole plane has a parachute on it,” Lidle said. “Ninety-nine percent of pilots that go up never have engine failure, and the 1 percent that do usually land it. But if you’re up in the air and something goes wrong, you pull that parachute, and the whole plane goes down slowly.”

Excellent, he found the only possible way that none of that would help.

Like the typical Yankee team nowadays, he found a way to blow it.

That is very ironic. To die in a crash when you had a plan parachute. Feel bad for the guy. Shitty situation.
