The George Steinbrenner Era

When George Steinbrenner buys the New York Yankees, all the rules are broken. Managers are fired and rehired, mascots are developed than scrapped. Fans run onto the field starting riots when the team wins, and gamblers are hired to dig up dirt on Steinbrenner’s own players.
Explore the tales of George Steinbrenner, Reggie Jackson, Thurman Munson, Billy Martin, Dave Winfield, Rickey Henderson, Buck Showalter, Don Mattingly, Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Joe Torre, Alex Rodriguez, Aaron Judge and the history of the New York Yankees.

The Yankees could use the Boss today. Hal and Cashman are not aiming to win a world series.

[@AlexandertheGreat033]

Here we are 11 months later, boy are we looking good!!!

[@Mikeyoww]

Larry David as Steinbrenner on Seinfeld and ranting about all the people he’s fired was peak 90’s television

[@joseaguilera6355]

The fact that he was quoted saying he would rather lose money and win a World Series then to make money and not win the World Series says all you need to know about George

[@edwardklintworth2004]

I believe the quote was - "One's a liar and the other is convicted".

[@paulburns2239]

Add one more word…”One’s a born liar, the other’s convicted.”

[@matsalvatore9074]

8 titles in this great man's reign. MORE THAN ANY OTHER TEAMS HISTORY

[@OdellHarden]

90's saved the Yankees

[@jeffreybomber4251]

I’m sorry to be that guy but… Don Mattingly won the 1985 MVP. Not 1983.

[@cappy2282]

George greatest sports team owner ever

[@freakyfornash]

Well his reign as Yankees owner was not all smooth by any means, what with his rapid cannon of firing managers, and general managers. That along with the bad moves the team made, and when he traded away their best prospects for over the hill veterans way past their primes. It took his suspension in the early 90's for the team being able to rebuild themselves into the dynasty they'd soon become when he wasn't around to interfere with operations. The fans you may remember even started cheering widely when that was announced too.

HOW I MISS YOU BOSS! 😢

[@bradhorowitz2765]

Wish you touched on steinbrenner’s involvement in the collusion scandal-the biggest scandal that baseball faced since the color line. It honestly makes his words of fielding a competitive team to its fullest extent look moot.

[@rstefanie2622]

This video omitted so many things it's not even funny.

[@lennysantacruz4421]

Thats the kind of manager the yankees need not boone!!

[@MichaelBecker-px5sy]

Reggie bar game, Too funny, Great Great player

[@slapshot68]

Dandy would still be here today if Munson wasn’t killed

[@Grindenhausen]

Good video

[@PeteyThePanda]

Correction: from 1921-1964 the Yankees won 29 AL Pennants and 20 World Championships. Look it up.

[@JohnSmith-zw8vp]

4:03 -- That is so unfair! Harmon Killebrew hit more home runs than Mickey Mantle AND Reggie Jackson...so how come Harmon didn't get a candy bar? :(

[@brobabroski5083]

Until the heat death of the earth it is championship or bust for the Yankees.

[@matthewl1049]

I found it ironic that Billy Martin judged people on being a “convict” yet he thought it was ok to assault people including a marshmallow seller? Today he would of been the convict.

[@antwanwimberly1729]

Did he study in the Philippines 🇵🇭!??

[@antwanwimberly1729]

Upper decker

[@AlexandertheGreat033]

I personally love the clean shave rule. I liked how Georgia was. I’m here to win, forget anything else. We are going to be professional and classy while we do it, too.

[@antwanwimberly1729]

Rob Jackson Junior ? Huh ?? His great grandson ? Huh?? McCann and McNabb are Irish ☘️

[@antwanwimberly1729]

Lucky did price fixing ? The rackets ?? Like tennis 🎾 right ? Tether ? Strasburg. ?? A red head ,?? Huh? Who me?? Yes when I was young as##

[@THOMAS81Z]

we need to ban Hal steinbrenner for 2 seasons so we can get a real team on the field

[@Rknowles813]

The beard rule is the dumbest rule in sports.

[@rstefanie2622]

George's mausoleum is down the road from me here in FL. I'd rate this video a C+ for some sloppy detail work. No mention of the early GS years w/ the firing of Ralph Houk leaving the Horace Clarke era, the remodel of Yankee Stadium aka playing home games at Shea in 74 & 75 along with the grand re-opening of the remodeled YS, George's 5 year prediction to bring a WS champion back to NY upon his purchase of the NYY or George's proclamation that he won't be involved in the day to day operations. Also no mention of GS being the first to sign Catfish Hunter & Don Gullet thus bringing in free agency into play in MLB (a BIG deal). Also no mention of GS threatening to move the team if Guiliani didn't build him a new ballpark or the falling concrete block in sect 22 of the mezzanine & George buying hot dogs for all the fans sitting in sect 22 to demonstrate how safe the park was (even though he wanted a new ballpark built). They also played a game at Shea while the stadium was repaired. No mention of the 2009 world champions (George's last & the NYY last). Also George was brought out during the pre-game festivities of the all-star game in a golf cart in the final season at Yankee Stadium which was a memorable night at YS. Basically, an amateurs' hour video here.

[@rstefanie2622]

Add the owner's collusion scandal of free agency & GS making Thurman Munson NYY captain once again. Joe McCarthy proclaimed Lou Gehrig as the final captain of the NYY, but GS bucked McCarthy & said if he knew Munson that he would agree to make him capt. I am sure I'll recall other notable GS era items after this comment as well.

[@johnsantello8515]

I'll never understand the nostalgia for George M. Steinbrenner III. The ridiculous managerial firings, with alcoholic, "rage"aholic, psycho Billy Martin as the main headliner. Alienating Yogi for 15 years. Asinine no facial hair rule. Does anyone remember 1982-1995? Good riddance!

[@user-br2zz7nn5u]

Billy Martin drank to much, it turned him into a alcoholic fighting individual....
