On a elevator in Tampa, I accidentally backed right into George. He gave me a scowling dirty look. Then he broke into the same great smile he has here. We both laughed.
"Pinella, Catfish Hunter, Sparky Lyle, that's a losing trifecta..." 😆

Only David Letterman could pull off a moment like that on TV. Billy Martin was good for TV and baseball.
The good old days in NY. I remember them well.
He was fantastic on Seinfeld

He was also great on Saturday Night Live, he made fun of himself in a few skits.

A gem. Occasionally I'll re-watch the time Steinbrenner and Billy Martin were on together when Billy tells the story of shooting the old mule with Mickey. Thanks.

On Billy Martin Roast, Whitney Ford told the mule story as well
OMG!!! Legends!!!! That was awesome!!!
Steinbrenner had a LOT of flaws, but goddamn if he wasn’t entertaining and committed to winning. As a Red Sox fan, the rivalry hasn’t been nearly as fun since he passed.
Billy kept talking even after Dave hung up the phone!
I miss George❤❤❤❤😢
Late night TV at it's best.
Miss those days.
Has anyone been hired and fired for the same job more times than Billy Martin?!

Yeah, I just looked it up. Martin had 5 stints as Yankee skipper and probably more if he hadn't died in the car crash.

this was FUNNY.
awesome ♥️
And then, after the commercial break, Whitney Houston came out and blew the roof off the place with a devastating performance of "Saving All My Love For You". Pretty good program that night in Rockefeller Center.
"That's why they're playing baseball in places like Anaheim" said Dave.
Well that was fun! ✌️
…..bucky dent, Billy Martin, Lou pinella, Billy Martin….
such a good look at a man that had a bad reputation for being so mean.. and I could care less about baseball!
Funny af.
rest in peace boss
He did a good job in Seinfeld. Shame he was cut.
Did Letterman set Steinbrenner up to have Martin say that right away?
Steinbrenner really was a chameleon!! He could be the most obnoxious a$$hole bully on Earth--and yet he had a great sense of humor--could laugh at himself--and had a very warm and generous side to him. A VERY complex man!!
I'm surprised that someone so funny and charming seemed to know nothing about Seinfeld and didn't understand the show.
The boss!!!! Rip george, you are missed so much!!
Larry David did a better Steinbrenner than this guy

Back when Letterman did comedy.
For a son of a ship builder from Cleveland Ohio, Mr. Steinbrenner had done pretty good for himself.
George reminds me of Trump
When USA was great.
