∙ 13y agoCBS bought the club from Vegas entrepreneur Del Webb for $13.2 million at the end of the 1964 season, allowing Webb to retain a 20% ownership. The sale was approved by the league, on the condition that the Yankees were an independent entity and not influenced by the network. Including 1964, the Yankees had won 14 pennants and 9 World Series in the previous 16 seasons. The Yankees promptly became a second-division club and didn't win another pennant or division while under the stewardship of CBS. At the beginning of of the 1973 season, the network sold the club to Steinbrenner, CBS Executive Michael Burke, and 10 other investors for $10 million. Steinbrenner's original share was only $168,000, or less than 2%. Steinbrenner forced Burke out the following year and gradually assumed majority ownership in the club. Today the club is worth an estimated $5 billion, more than any other American sports franchise, except the Dallas Cowboys.

George Steinbrenner was a sports devotee' and loved the Yankee tradition, even though he was from Cleveland, the location of his lucrative ship building business. He saw the Yankees as a bargain and possibly visualized baseball's future ability to generate revenue (the reserve clause, which kept salaries low and 'indentured' players to one team, was still in effect). What changed the game (after free agents became available), was George's successful purchases of Hall of Famers Catfish Hunter and Reggie Jackson, two catalysts in the Yankees 1977 and 1978 World Championships. From then on, and psychiatrists can argue the rest, owning the Yankees was a guilty pleasure for George. Power didn't hurt, either.
