I remember the story that Graig Nettles told about concerning the first Opening Day Steinbrenner owned the Yankees (about 1973). During the national anthem, he wrote down the numbers of the players whom he thought they needed to go get a haircut. Graig says manager Ralph Houk began reading out those numbers and the locker room shook with everybody laughing as here was George owning the team and not knowing the names of his players yet.
