Steinbrenner shaped the Yankees into a modern empire
Derek Jeter recalls George Steinbrenner demanding perfection as he built a $1.6 billion franchise from a $10 million team. Under his rule the Yankees won seven World Series titles, 11 pennants, and 16 AL East crowns, moving from the old House that Ruth Built to the $1.5 billion Yankee Stadium. The Boss appeared at key moments, while peers and legends remembered him as a powerful, generous, and polarizing figure who drove a media sensational age of baseball. His death came just hours before the All-Star Game in Anaheim, prompting tributes and reflections on a colossal, controversial legacy.
