The New York Yankees have put a statue of former owner George Steinbrenner at the team's spring training complex.

The 600-pound, life-size statue was put on a marble stand Friday at the entrance of the ballpark named for Steinbrenner, who died at 80 in July.

A formal ceremony is scheduled to take place during this year's spring training.

The statue has Steinbrenner in a suit and wearing the 2009 World Series championship ring, the last of the seven titles won by the Yankees under his ownership.
