ENTERTAINMENT - "The Boss" of the New York Yankees, George Steinbrenner died early this morning at the age of 80. He bought the Yankees in 1973 for $10 million USD and turned it into a $1.6 billion USD empire, winning 7 World Series championships and 11 pennants under his reign.
Steinbrenner's notorious and yet lovable behaviour as the team's owner was the stuff of legend and a fictional version of George Steinbrenner was a regular part of the cast of Seinfeld.
Recommended videos of George Steinbrenner on Seinfeld: Video 1 and Video 2.
