George Steinbrenner Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018

During Steinbrenner’s 37-year possession from 1973 to his departure in July 2010, the longest in team history, the Yankees earned seven World Series titles and 11 pennants. His outspokenness and purpose in driving up player salaries made him one of the sport’s most controversial figures. Steinbrenner was additionally involved with the Great Lakes transportation business.

Known as a hands on baseball executive, Steinbrenner earned the nickname “The Manager”. He had a inclination to meddle in day-to-day on-field choices, and also to hire and fire (and occasionally re-rental) managers.

During the 1981 World Series, Steinbrenner provided a brilliant backdrop to the Yankees’ loss of the series. Following a Game 3 loss in La, Steinbrenner called a press conference in his hotel room, revealing his left hand in a cast and several other harms which he asserted were earned in a fight with two Dodgers fans in the hotel lift. Nobody came forward about the fight, resulting in the belief he had made up the narrative of the fight so that you can light a fire underneath the Yankees. Following the series, he issued a public apology to the Town of New York for his team’s performance, while in the exact same time ensuring the fanatics that intends to put the team together for 1982 would start promptly. He was criticized heartily by players and press alike for doing so, because so many folks believed losing in the World Series wasn’t something demanding an apology.

#Quote
1Horses are great. They never complain. They can't talk to sportswriters and tell them what a bum the owner is. Yes, I've heard all that stuff about racing being crooked. I believe that racing polices itself better than any other sport. A lot of bad stuff in other professional sports never sees the light of day because it is covered up.
2I won't be active in the day-to-day operations of the club at all. I can't spread myself so thin. I've got enough headaches with my shipping company. -- after becoming the principal owner of the Yankees on 3 January 1973
3Winning is the most important thing in my life, after breathing. Breathing first, winning next.
#Fact
1The longest tenured manager ever to work for Steinbrenner was Joe Torre from 1996-2007. In that time, the Yankees were AL Champs in 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2003. They won the World Series in 1996, 1998, 1999, and 2000.
2Steinbrenner and Billy Martin famously spoofed their numerous feuds in a commercial for Lite Beer. In the ad, George and Billy start off acting friendly until they get into Lite Beer's trademark argument of "less filling" versus "taste great". The ad ends with Steinbrenner saying "Billy, you're fired!" and Billy Martin turns to the camera and says "Oh, no! Not again!".
3Repeatedly hired and fired manager Billy Martin five times from 1975 to 1989. The longest period Martin worked for Steinbrenner was from 1975 to 1978 (during which time the Yankees won the AL Champion pennant in 1976 and 1977 and won the World Series in 1977). This cycle ended with Martin's death on Christmas 1989. He had been hired for the up-coming 1990 season.
4The date of his death (July 13, 2010) was also the date of that year's Major League Baseball All-Star Game. The National League won the game 3-1, the first win for the Senior Circuit since 1996. During the first ten years of his ownership of the Yankees (1973-1982), the American League had gone winless in the All-Star Game. (From 1959 to 1987, the National League dominated the game with a 27-5-1 record. Before 1959, there was parity between the two leagues in the game.) From 1983 to 2009, the American League had a 20-3-1 winning record in the game.

6In 2006, he donated $1 million to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for Boshamer Stadium for baseball.
7Graduated from Culver Military Academy in Culver, IN. Other graduates include Jonathan Winters (actor) and Gene Siskel (the late movie critic).
8Was impersonated by Seinfeld (1989) co-creator Larry David starting in the show's fifth season finale.
9Dave Winfield sued him for failing to pay the Winfield Foundation the $300,000 guaranteed in his contract. Steinbrenner paid Howie Spira, a gambler, $40,000 for dirt on his outfielder. On 30 July 1990, Commissioner Fay Vincent banned Steinbrenner for life from running the Yankees. Two years later, Vincent allowed him to return for the 1993 season.
10Changed managers 20 times in his first 23 seasons.
11Assistant football coach at Northwestern (1955) and Purdue (1956)
12On 27 November 1974, Commissioner Bowie Kuhn suspended him for two years following his conviction for making illegal political campaign contributions to Richard Nixon. He was pardoned by President Ronald Reagan on 19 January 1989.
13Banned from baseball for life in 1990 by commissioner Fay Vincent for hiring Howard Spira to dig up dirt on Dave Winfield so that Steinbrenner could get out of paying $300,000 to Winfields's foundation, as per his contract. He was reinstated in 1993 after Bud Selig led a revolt to oust Vincent.
14Bought the Yankees from CBS in 1973 for a mere $10 million. The team has won 12 division titles, 10 pennants, and 6 World Series during his time as owner.
15Son, Hal Steinbrenner, owns former Kentucky Derby/Preakness Stakes-winning racehorse Silver Charm.
