George Steinbrenner, 1930-2010

The Conflict
In 1981, Steinbrenner hired Dave Winfield for a record $23 million 10-year contract. Although Winfield was named an All-Star every year from 1981 through 1988, Steinbrenner was disappointed in his performance. The pair's disagreements led to a very public feud.
