George Steinbrenner
George Michael Steinbrenner III (born July 4, 1930 in Rocky River, Ohio) often known as "The Boss", is an American entrepreneur, the principal owner of the New York Yankees. His outspokenness and role in driving up player salaries have made him one of baseball's more controversial figures, though his willingness to spend to build the club (and its post-season success since 1976) have earned him grudging respect from some baseball executives, while at the same time earning him the contempt of non-Yankee fans.
