George Steinbrenner's Business Lessons

"The Boss", George Steinbrenner may have been the most hated man in baseball by everyone who wasn't a Yankee fan, and maybe by a few that are. One thing that can't be argued, however is that he was incredibly successful as a businessman.

He died earlier this week at the age of 80, but will be remembered for his legacy as the owner of baseball's New York Yankees. Arguable the most recognized sports team on Earth. Didn't matter that he was probably in need of wrinkle cream reviews in his later years to stay looking sharp. He was still pulling the strings no matter how he was doing. Not to mention how he likely pulled the strings for the Yankees even when suspended by the league several times for as long as 2 years.
