Steinbrenner Loses Control of Yankees Over Dirt-Digging Scandal
Commissioner Fay Vincent ousts George Steinbrenner from day to day management of the Yankees and forces him to resign as general partner by August 20. Steinbrenner will be restricted from player deals and must obtain written permission to attend major league games while remaining may consult on major business matters. The ruling ends a 18 year era of firing managers and clashes with players highlighted by the Winfield feud and a $40 000 payment to Howard Spira.
