New York Yankees … sold!
Thursday, January 3rd, 2008Today, in 1973, George Steinbrenner bought the New York Yankees baseball team from CBS for a measly $3.2 million! The history of the team would forever be changed as Steinbrenner took charge.
At the end of his second year, he basically started the modern “free agency” era. In 1976 the Yankees reached the World Series for the first time since the early 1960s.
In all, since Steinbreener took control, the Yankees have won 6 World Series titles and 10 AL Pennants.
