I wonder if this is the commercial Al Bundy and Jefferson are fighting about...
-
@03030303 I remember. And actually, this is the one you're talking about. They just dubbed in Steinbrenner (or someone with his voice) to switch from "You're fired" to "You're hired", after he did rehire Martin for the umpteenth time.

Remember, there was also a commercial where George tells Billy "you're fired...again".

These guys hated each other at times, but had a lot in common. Kind of co-dependents too. Would almost always root against Yanks, but I miss them. Yanks today may be good, but boring by comparison

@arkady714 the only problem i had with that show was they made billy a HUGE cowboy even though he managed for 2 yrs in Texas, he was born and raised in Oakland and managed the yankees lol

George brought the Yankees back from the dust when he bought them in 1973. CBS ruined the Yankees for years when they took over running them in 1965.

@BrooklynEagle I was a teen in the summer of '77. And I could not watch "The Bronx is Burning" without squirming in my chair the whole time. Every thing that happened in that mini-series...all of it...every word was the truth. That is EXACTLY how it all went down. Except there was no Jason Giambi looking cab driver who called out to Reggie. Everything else was spot on.
Steinbrenner: greatest owner ever

Wonder what Billy would have done if George cut his pay like he did to Torre.
