Steinbrenner’s life and work ethic screams of conservatism. So I’m not surprised some would hate him.

I wouldn't say anyone spoke about hating him. They were just obviously on edge when he was at the Stadium. They would always let me know if he was there. (I didn't work for the Yankees. I worked for the company responsible for the scoreboards there.) You should recall that this was around the time when he was repeatedly hiring and firing Billy Martin.

Sorry, didn’t mean to imply you said it - but it REMINDED me of how many loved to throw cold water on his success by saying he drove some/all hard - as if it were a bad thing.

I could understand them telling you ‘the boss is here’ and the ‘on edge’ feeling.

What a great job you had and, now, memories to share.

RIP George - thanks for home run, Did it My Way, life story.

I had heard that the Yankees used a DEC PDP-11 to post info on the scoreboard...any truth to that?
