"He was concerned about their education and who would help with the cost, so he established

8855-420: The new Memorial Stadium , which is still the home of the football team today. In the fall of 1960 the Indiana football program was hit with devastating NCAA sanctions.

As a result, Steinbrenner wrote articles in

9200-460: The nickname " the Boss ". He had a tendency to meddle in daily on-field decisions, and to hire and fire (and sometimes re-hire) managers. Former Yankees manager Dallas Green gave him the derisive nickname "Manager George".

9660-642: The series ended in a decisive Game 5 loss to the Seattle Mariners. He also fired Michael from the GM spot after the season ended. Three days after firing Showalter on October 31, rankled by the angry responses by fans, he attempted to woo him back (while presumably moving Joe Torre to a desk job rather than the manager position). Showalter elected to honor the word he gave to the Arizona Diamondbacks and thus Steinbrenner went with Torre to manage

9775-539: The statement following the 1981 World Series . Part of that comment later led Ken Griffey Jr. to list the Yankees as one team for which he would never play. In 2001, Winfield cited Steinbrenner's animosity as a factor in his decision to enter the Hall of Fame as a representative of his first team, the San Diego Padres , rather than the team that increased his national recognition, the Yankees. Steinbrenner

9890-422: The subsequent legal wrangling prevented the Yankees from hiring him. On the first anniversary of the team's ownership change, the Yankees hired former Pittsburgh Pirates manager Bill Virdon to lead the team on the field.

10580-472: The venture, but Steinbrenner paid off all of his creditors and partners over the next few years.

Whereas Nederlander threw himself into his family's business full-time, Steinbrenner invested in

10695-463: The way to Mayor Rudy Giuliani to ensure he was able to watch the broadcasts from his room.

Former sportscaster Hank Greenwald , who called Yankee games on WABC radio for two years, once said he knew when Steinbrenner was in town by how tense the office staff was.

He left day-to-day baseball matters in the hands of Gene Michael and other executives and allowed promising farm-system players such as Bernie Williams to develop instead of trading them for established players. Steinbrenner's having "got religion" (in the words of New York Daily News reporter Bill Madden) paid off. After contending only briefly two years earlier,

12535-426: Was reluctantly relayed to the players. In 1983, at Steinbrenner's behest, Yankee coach Yogi Berra ordered Goose Gossage to remove a beard he was growing. Gossage responded by shaving away the beard but leaving a thick exaggerated mustache extending down the upper lip to the jaw line, a look Gossage still sports to this day.

12650-561: Was suffering from Alzheimer's disease . A 2007 interviewer said: "He doesn't look all right. In fact, he looks dreadful. His body is bloated; his jawline has slackened into a triple chin; his skin looks as if a dry-cleaner bag has been stretched over it. Steinbrenner's face, pale and swollen, has a curiously undefined look. His features seem frozen in a permanent rictus of careworn disbelief." The Yankees went to great lengths to prevent anyone outside Steinbrenner's immediate family and closest business associates from speaking to him, or even getting

12765-410: Was suspended, Yankees management ordered Don Mattingly , who was then sporting a mullet -like hairstyle, to get a haircut. When Mattingly refused, he was benched.
