I’d love to hear more Reggie stories.
Detroit fans called Steinbrenner, “The Mistake From the Lake.” 😆
Loved the Di Maggio story
@@wokkie1999 did he charge you to read it?… nothing free with him
As much as George argued with his managers and players in the end he was a true fan.
One thing for sure, George Steinbrenner was consistent.
The Yankee Clipper was from the Greatest Generation, all of them were "frugal" due to their collective experience in the Great Depression
That's right. ...Very true.
The Man 💯
George Steinbrenner once said "Good Day" to me once and I replied: "Well, I wish I could say the same, but I must say, with all due respect, I find it very hard to see the logic behind some of the moves you have made with this fine organization. In the past twenty years you have caused myself, and the city of New York, a good deal of distress, as we have watched you take our beloved Yankees and reduced them to a laughing stock, all for the glorification of your massive ego!"
Pretty bold talk from a wannabe latex salesman
I just said to George how could you trade Jay Buhner?
good to see you Frank, how's Del Boca Vista?
hire that man!!
@@stocksgoupward5922 He was a good prospect, no question about it, but my baseball people love Ken Phelps bat. They kept saying Ken Phelps, Ken Phelps.
Reggie is still fabulous....
Reggie's a lot more likeable nowadays than he was in his later years as a player
I think he was always a sensitive guy and that he hid that under a layer of ridiculous confidence and the sunglasses, moustache and afro.
@@ngazin Even as a young man, I always saw him as grounded and comfortable in his own skin. Winning traits such as those might be perceived as 'ridiculous confidence' (whatever that means) by those who don't possess them.
DiMaggio played before the era of free agency and big money contracts. Many players had jobs outside of baseball to make ends meet
In The Bronx Is Burning series, DiMaggio visits Reggie in the clubhouse before a WS game and tells Reggie that he’s a part of the great players that have made the Yankees so sucessful. Did that really happen? I like to think it did.
A true Star in the Joe Namath tradition
Everyone needs to be yelled at once in a while, loved George, he was nuts.
Joe D. coached Reggie .
Joe DiMaggio had specific instructions that when he was announced at old timers games...or just as him being at a game... they HAD to say "Greatest living ballplayer" before his name. THAT is how egotistical Joe DiMaggio was.....period.
Must have been after Ted Williams passed.
@@Zimmy907 Joe passed first.
It was true.
It’s after his career was over. Joe DiMaggio had every right to brag about himself. And guess what? he was pretty good from I’ve seen in his numbers. I don’t know what do you think? lol
That's complete bullshit.
DiMaggio was notoriously cheap
He was a “dunker”
@@thomasarias773 You saw him at Dinkys Donuts?
You mean frugal..🤓
Joe played golf & cards for money, never paid when he lost, per my pop.
DiMaggio legend is how cheap an low he really was. Nice to be remembered that way
I’d rather hear what Thurman had to say. God rest his soul.
So, George was an a$$hole to everyone. Good to know.
I have no idea why or how Reggie got along with him.
Reggie was the straw that stirred the drink.
Being Mr. October probably gets you some leeway, plus I'm guessing he was competent at whatever role he had, as Steinbrenner would have eventually either fired him or sent him out to scout little leaguers if he wasn't.
Billy Crystal tells a couple of Dimaggio stories in his bio that aren't at all flattering. He feels that Willie Mays was a better ballplayer, coming from a Yankee fan.
That's Because ...................Mayes WAS BETTER ! VIN SCULLY thought so.
@@michaelkraus4135 Oh YEAH! Totally agree...
Mays was probably the best player ever
Crystal is also a braindead liberal, so it would stand to reason that he would favor the black player. Musical and Ted Williams both felt that DiMaggio was the best player ever to play the game. When did Billy Crystals's opinion of an athlete become any more valid than any other civilian's.
Willie Mays was my very first sports idol and to this day, which is a couple of weeks after Willie's passing, I still believe that he is the greatest all around player of all time.
George Steinbrenner HOF
I met Reggie in the late 90’s. I wish I hadn’t. Horrible guy.
What happened??
@@ngazin he came into the corp office of a famous designer. I worked there and word got out he was in the building. Me and my boss went down to meet him. Just a few people were around. My boss asked him to sign something and you could see he was pissed but he reluctantly signed. I’m standing there and I say to myself ok just say hello and don’t ask for anything. So I say, “Hi Mr. Jackson I’m a huge fan” while extending my hand for him to shake. He looks at me and my hand. Doesn’t say a word and does not extend his hand. I’m standing there not sure what to do so awkwardly I just put my hand down and stand for a few seconds before slinking away. The few people gathered there just left after that because no one wanted to be embarrassed by him after seeing what he just did. Seems like a minor thing but made me rethink being a fan of anyone really, especially him.
@@ddsara6566oof. That sounds very disappointing
@@ngazin yes for a big Yankee fan I was really disappointed with his response. Part of my job was to deal with celebrities and sports stars and I can say some were great some were not very friendly but no one was close to this bad. On a positive note the nicest guy I ever met was Shaq. Wonderful guy.
@@ddsara6566i believe it about Shaq.
Up until 1981.. Dumb mistake.
Reggie Not even a Real Yankee . Go talk about Oakland
A little funny that Reggie chooses to pick the backhanded insulting stories of these deceased icons such as DiMaggio.
He didn't o that at all. Your psyche obviously has a homing device for negativity.
What dry, bitter stories..
Id say dont quit your day job, reggie..
He doesn't need a day job - YOU DO!
