Which baseball team did George Steinbrenner own?

George Steinbrenner owned the New York Yankees. A group led by Steinbrenner purchased the Major League Baseball franchise from CBS in 1973, and he became its principal owner and most recognizable public figure.

Nicknamed “The Boss,” Steinbrenner was known for his intense involvement in baseball operations, frequent managerial changes, and willingness to spend heavily on players. His ownership transformed the Yankees into one of the sport’s most prominent and closely watched organizations.

The team won seven World Series championships during Steinbrenner’s ownership, including four titles from 1996 through 2000. He remained the Yankees’ principal owner until his death in 2010, after which control continued through his family and Yankee Global Enterprises.

The answer is often shortened to “Yankees,” which is the standard quiz-show form. The full team name is the New York Yankees, an American League club based in the Bronx.
