On “The PosCast,” Michael Schur and Joe Posnanski asked about the twist of fate and quirk of law that may well have been the reason the Steinbrenner family was able to retain control of the #Yankees after the Boss’ passing.

On “Baseball Night in New York,” @[email protected] asked me for my favorite George/Billy/Reggie story. I’m partial to the time a well-timed newspaper strike spared a #Yankees PR man from the Boss’ wrath — and the unemployment line.

TALES OF THE BOSS, Part 18: George Steinbrenner and I had very few things in common. One we definitely did: an affinity for making the back page.

On “Yankees Nation” @[email protected] asked about the Steinbrenner #Yankees origin story. From the money George Steinbrenner was introduced on Jan. 3, 1973 everything changed around the franchise.

“New Orleans Yankees”? Historically jarring nickname. Could have happened if CBS went with the highest bidder instead of George Steinbrenner’s group, as I told @[email protected] on “Good Day New York.”

TALES OF THE BOSS, PART 14: Long before the newspaper folks thought to call George Steinbrenner by the more headline-friendly “BOSS,” that’s how he referred to himself because … of course he did.
