Peter felt that if he was not serving suspensions during those key times there might have been some quick triggers on players who were integral to winning him Championships. An amazing twist of fate. <br><br>Joe Shawn, an interesting point I thought Peter made was about Steinbrenner's dislike for rookies and this it almost cost the Yankees Ron Guidry, and then probably some or all of the “core four”.

Perceptions of Steinbrenner remind me of the quote often attributed to FDR: “Somoza may be a son of a bitch, but he's our son of a bitch.”

I don't know that I'd want to spend any time with him, but I appreciate his efforts and passion as an owner.

People heap scorn on him for paying out lots of cash for top players – since there is no salary cap, I'm happy to see him keep the club competitive.

It beats dictatorial owners like Angelos that tried to “buy championships” and never succeeded.
