So, would Kramer's sudden acceptance of that offer be legally binding with no question? Like, do negotiations end there just because he said that?

2025-09-22 18:32:50 +0000 UTCHello, I'm not sure what episode you asked it, but you asked if George Steinbrenner was like that in real life. Larry David's impersonation is exaggerated, but not by that much imo. Steinbrenner was a pretty colorful character in NY Sports from the time he bought the Yankees in 1973 until he died and passed the team onto his sons in 2010. There are a lot of stories about him but here is one that would be right out of a Seinfeld episode, relayed by Yankees pitcher David Cone. In the 1996 World Series the Yankees were about to win the game and win the world series and people started bringing champagne into the clubhouse to prepare for the celebration. David Cone, wanting to have a little fun with Steinbrenner's ultra competitive nature, went to Steinbrenner and told him that people were sending champagne into the clubhouse prematurely in order to try and jinx the Yankees. So David Cone, who was at the time a star player for the Yankees, and Steinbrenner the owner of the team, spent all there efforts removing the champagne from the clubhouse before the final out was recorded and there was no chance the Yankees could lose. Also, you've already seen this episode but when Steinbrenner was going thru the list of managers he fired and said "Buck Showalter, oh wait you didn't hear that", Buck Showalter actually was fired after the playoffs that year. I'm not sure whether the episode or the firing came first. Also in the episode with Paul O'Neil, that was the real person, and you've already seen the real Danny Tartabull and the real Buck Showalter portray themselves (as well as the real NY Met Keith Hernandez). For a good idea of what Steinbrenner spoke like you can search "Mike & Mad Dog 1990 Interview w/George Steinbrenner" on Youtube. It's almost an hour long so I wouldn't expect anyone to listen to the whole thing but if you listen for a few minutes it gives you an idea what Larry David was basing the character off of. Also, don't go searching too much yet for Steinbrenner and Seinfeld yet if you don't want to spoil things, but i will just say that they invited the real Steinbrenner to be on the show, did a couple of takes which you can find on Youtube, but eventually cut him because Larry David didn't think it was good enough. Just to give some background on the team and the city, at the beginning of the shows run the Yankees were in a down period, Steinbrenner was considered kind of a buffoon who traded away young promising players for aging veterans (Jay Buhner for Ken Phelps mentioned by Frank Costanza was a real trade) which is why the team is being made fun of (by Seinfeld and the rest of NY), but by the end of the shows run they were doing really well, in the midst of a dynasty, and haven't had a losing season since. Sorry for the meandering text under an unrelated episode, but I just binged a whole bunch of your reactions, forgot which one you mentioned your question about Steinbrenner, and thought I would put this comment under the latest one. I really enjoy your reactions, and your reaction to Frank Costanza's reaction to Steinbrenner in his home was everything I could have hoped for. Thanks for giving me a fun distraction thru some tough times - someone who grew up loving his stupid baseball team until recently.
