Steinbrenner

Steinbrenner is a surname of German origin. In contemporary contexts, the name is most closely associated with the Steinbrenner family, American businesspeople best known for owning Major League Baseball's New York Yankees.

George Michael Steinbrenner III (1930–2010) purchased the Yankees in 1973 and led the franchise through a period of revival and sustained success. Under his ownership the team won seven World Series titles (1977, 1978, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2009) and earned numerous division championships. The tenure encompassed a strategy of high-profile acquisitions and significant investment in talent.

Following George Steinbrenner's death, ownership and leadership remained within the family, with two of his sons, Hank Steinbrenner and Hal Steinbrenner, taking on senior roles in the Yankees' ownership group. The Steinbrenner name continues to be closely tied to the franchise's management and operations.

Apart from the Yankees, Steinbrenner may refer to individuals bearing the surname. The article focuses on the most prominent contemporary association, the American baseball franchise.
