In the 1970s, professional sports found a different breed of team owner in George Steinbrenner of the New York Yankees.

Charles Wang, owner of the New York Islanders, serves as something of a cautionary tale in terms of how heavy owner involvement can sink a franchise.

I think of the New York City Ballet as the Yankees without George Steinbrenner.

We will defend our code that it's against the law to discharge a firearm simply because it is strictly a matter of public safety.

The owner of the New York Yankees, Mr. George Steinbrenner who I had the greatest respect for, I want to thank him for giving me the opportunity to win that special ring in 1996.

The city seen from the Queensboro Bridge is always the city seen for the first time, in its first wild promise of all the mystery and the beauty in the world.
