Now, his sons control the team. Check out this Steinbrenner book.

The Yankee Years
This book was written by the great Yankees manager, Joe Torre, who is now the manager of the L.A. Dodgers. Torre led the team to four World Series wins and is noted as one of the greatest managers to ever be in Major League Baseball.
