The Alcoholic Chicken incident
In the late 1990s, Steinbrenner mistakenly believes one of his employees is moonlighting as a hen supervisor for Tyler Chicken in Arkansas. As a result, he trades the employee, George Costanza, to Tyler Chicken, which Steinbrenner characterizes as "a top-flight bird outfit." The trade is caught on tape:

Don Tyler (head of Tyler Chicken): "How about this: You give me Costanza, I convert your concessions to all chicken -- no charge. Instead of hotdogs -- chicken dogs. Instead of pretzels -- chicken twists. Instead of beer -- alcoholic chicken."

Steinbrenner: "How do you make that alcoholic chicken?"

Tyler: "Ah, let it ferment. Just like anything else."

Steinbrenner: "That stuff sounds great. Alright, I'll have Costanza on the next bus!"

Even though millions saw the trade on TV, Steinbrenner showed no remorse.

I remember the Irabu thing too...what a bust he turned out to be.

I think the Lemon incident and the Michael incident show that Steinbrenner is a man of his word. Yeah right.

Two of the worst things in baseball---Steinbrenner and Clemens.
Not to mention the MLBPA's refusal to allow MLB to become a good league again, i.e. NFL
