I'm not into baseball but sounds look a big loss indeed.
RIP George and Bob.
Just a curiosity: is it the owner who George Costanza worked for in the Seinfeld series? He was always shown from his back and he talked A LOT
Yeah it was. The character of Steinbrenner on Seinfeld was not far off. Steinbrenner was a sociopath for the first15 years or so he owned the team. He fired 15+ plus managers in 15 years. He just got too involved yelled at players and made it a bad team to play for. They couldn't get players to sign for the club and the Yankees had a long run of sh*t seasons.
Then he got suspended by Major League Baseball in 1988 I think. He was supposed to sell the team and was almost banned completely. But baseball reinstated him and after that he cooled down. He allowed his GM and coaches to run the team and he won 5 more World Series.
He was really hated in New York for a long time. Then when he cooled down and fixed the Yankees and did good things, he was forgiven and was loved. Sad loss, no one like him, one of a kind.
