Known for his combative nature and win-at-all-costs outlook George Steinbrenner was the Yankee owner for seven World Series titles.
A controversial figure, Steinbrenner was banned by commissioner Fay Vincent in 1990 for his unseemly action toward Dave Winfield. Steinbrenner was reinstated in 1993 by Vincent’s successor, Bud Selig.
In the collection is this thank you note dated August 13, 1986 and written entirely in The Boss’s hand.
Steinbrenner's Yankees won four titles with their "core four"
Steinbrenner's Yankees won four titles with their "core four"
The Steinbrenner Yankees won eleven American League pennants and seven World Series championships. Four of those titles came with the “core four” of Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera, and Andy Pettitte.
The four players helped bring the hardware to New York in 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2009.
Shown here is the envelope for the thank-you note addressed by Steinbrenner. Postmarked from the Bronx, NY, the envelope must have been a thrill to open for its recipient.
Many believe George Steinbrenner belongs in the Hall of Fame
Many believe George Steinbrenner belongs in the Hall of Fame
Does George Steinbrenner belong in the Hall of Fame? Many think that’s the case. Not many owners are enshrined in Cooperstown and some believe former Cardinals owner Sam Breadon is the next in line.
Steinbrenner’s high profile will no doubt help and hinder his case for Cooperstown.
The back of the envelope is shown here with Steinbrenner writing his name and the address, “New York Yankees, Yankee Stadium, Bronx, NY, 10451”.
It’s easy to picture the Yankee owner with a plaque in baseball’s ultimate shrine.
