George Steinbrenner suddenly died this morning at the age of 80 years, but his legacy will go down for one main idea: winning. Winning is what encompassed Steinbrenner’s 37 years at the helm of the Yankees. He saw his team win seven World Series, 11 American League pennants and over 3,000 games.
The Yankees won more division titles than any team in baseball since 1973. For those reasons, Steinbrenner will be remembered (at least to Yankee fans) above anything else. One hundred wins was no rare feat under Steinbrenner’s watch, but what 10 teams stand out as George’s best?
