The name George Steinbrenner was involved with the New York Yankees since 1973 until 2007, when he was too ill to remain in control.
He died in 2010, but his legacy as an MLB owner will last forever: the Yankees won consecutive World Series championships in 1977 and 1978, just four years after a group in which Steinbrenner was in acquired the team.
He wasn’t afraid to hand out big contracts to bring the very best players to town, he had a strict no-facial hair policy, and he loved winning.
