Hi all. In shaping history, who was more important? George Steinbrenner or Mr. K. ?

well, i can't stand the yankees, but even so....

i would still say mr. K because the Z was something completely new, whereas the work that GS did was mostly shinning up an old shoe.

I don't have an opinion, but the question reminds me of the SNL bit: "Quien es mas macho? Lorezo Lamas o Ricardo Mantalban?"

Strange thing is both of their origanizations eventually concluded that they were no longer needed in the capacaity that they were most known for.

Who is George Steinbrenner

An American billionaire businessman and the principal owner of Major League Baseball's New York Yankees. However, at the end of this season his sons took over control of the baseball operations so he's no longer the boss.

out with the old in with the new....

speaking of base ball check this out.

I've seen Orlando Cabrera, the Angels shortstop, make a couple of plays like that. On one they actually completed the double play.

Too bad we didn't get to see the vain in Steinbrenners forehead explode when the Yankees lost again before his (other) health issues removed him form the front office.He,more than anyone else is responsible for the decline of MLB.

We've got a Peter Angelos here in Maryland who is worse than ol' George! George will spend the bucks to at least buy the penant, while tightwad Pete won't even get us a veteran pitcher. Wonder what he did with all that Tobacco lawsuit money he won?!?
