One of the most beautiful jokes about George Steinbrenner, death Verwaltungsgemeinschaft dignity as A Contribution to the life and career to die so complex public face and sole owners of baseball pronounced administrative dignity community of John McMullen, a limited die early partner of the Yankees was the war dead ALS Imperial Yankee owner operated TEAM war under full sail and with little involvement of the partner's argument. Posted Posted on McMullen: "There is nothing in life so limited as a limited partner of the Yankees."
But the wily old McMullen also added that one needed only to make one superb deal in a lifetime, and he wisely conceded that Steinbrenner had made a spectacular deal when he and his partners bought the Yankees from CBS for slightly less than $10 million. Steinbrenner led a full, successful and often troubled life, and yet his death removes a powerful force from the baseball business and an often loud and troublesome personality
from the public scene.
I knew him well. He left baseball under pressure from me in 1990 and was out for two years. Then he begged me to let him back into our game, and I did so because I thought he had made a silly deal for himself when he had asked me to let him leave baseball for life after having engaged in a vicious effort to discredit the Yankee player, David Winfield.This is not the place to revisit all that drama, but I let him back because I thought then and still believe he did not deserve to be banned for life.
