Seinfeld: George Steinbrenner's "Billy Martin" Rant

George Steinbrenner has to fire Mr. Morgan because Kramer sells the card to Stubbs and George Costanza can't get it to Mr. Morgan for him to sign. One of George Steinbrenner's best rants. From the episode "The Wink" from the Season 7 DVD.

Here is the rant if you want to know the names of all the managers:
"You know as painful as it is I had to let a few people go over the years. Yogi Berra, Lou Piniella, Bucky Dent, Billy Martin, Dallas Green, Dick Houser, Bill Virdon, Billy Martin, Stump Merrill, Billy Martin, Bob Lemon, Billy Martin, Gene Michael, Buck Showalter, uh, tut!, . . .George, you didn't hear that from me. [George exits] . . . George!"

"TUT TUT! George! You didn't hear that from me!"

Yup, Showalter WAS fired that season!

It is interesting Steinbrenner says that he had fired Buck Showalter in this episode, but Showalter was fired in real life shortly after this episode.

It's funny because showalter wasn't gone.... Yet

[broadstreet21]

I think Martin quit once, so that doesn't count.

And Showalter actually did get fired, haha.

I know, AMAZING !!!  Talk about life imitating art after art imitated life !!!

[Yankee4Life]

Yes they were. In fact they were also born on the same day, although one year apart. Davis was born on July 4, 1929 and Steinbrenner exactly one year later in 1930.
