The Boss - True George Steinbrenner Story

Nathaniel1960

George S. taught me (as a six year old) how to keep official score at an Orlando Twins game. He signed my program with the note, "To Nathaniel, All the Best from the Yankees." I guess he was there scouting and things were a bit slow. So whenever I hear bad things about him in the press, I cut him a break, because for that evening he was very cool to a little kid.

I'm glad this was a nice experience for you . This was not the normal "George" experience for most . I've heard it said , "We reap what we sow ". George has absolutely earned his perceived reputation .

As stated above , I'm glad you have this to remember . I'm sure there are more that might even have something nice to say , if prompted . The vast majority have never been blessed with such an occurance .

He did well with the Yanks though.

What a coincidence! As an 8 year old, George taught me how to smoke pot under the bleachers at Al Lang Stadium. He was one cool dude!

With such fond memories .... what else did you "teach" you about under those bleachers??

Cool story, Nat. Would love to see a scan of that program.

You've met the only owner in the past 30 year I want to meet.

You're lucky
