Two Fewer Yankees

Bob Shepard, with that quivering Old East Cost accent of his, was the voice of the Yankees forever. This video gives me chills. What a life he had.


George Steinbrenner bought the New York Yankees in 1973 for 10 million dollars. Just think how much ARod makes this season to put that into perspective. The Yankees earned 11 pennants and 7 World Series titles under his watch and became the team we loathe today. "Winning is the most important thing in my life, after breathing."

Larry David memorably played Mr. Steinbrenner on Seinfeld, but the real deal was on it, too. Which proves, at least sometimes, he was a good sport. "You dance, don't ya? Lose a little weight, get yourself in shape and then when they throw the bridal bouquet, then maybe you'll get it."



Oh, and this has nothing to do with Steinbrenner, other than it's Costanza and Yankee related, but it cracks me up.

"Are you the guy who put us in the Ramada in Milwaukee?"
