(CNN) — New York Yankees All-Star players Tuesday remembered owner George M. Steinbrenner III as a demanding father figure who had a gentle side.

“He was always good to be around, recalled pitcher Andy Pettitte. “He was tough. He was fair.”

Stories about the larger-than-life Yankees owner, 80, provided a backdrop for Tuesday night’s All-Star game in Anaheim, California, where the crowd remembered the baseball titan.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi and other members of the team wore black armbands in memory of Steinbrenner.
