Usher emphasized the team's "togetherness," a trait demonstrated at an unusually enthusiastic pre-season dinner Tuesday night...
...part because of Steinbrenner's strict upbringing, Schapp says the "mature" Steinbrenner alternates between two broad behavior patterns. The "good George"--whom he charges the press with overlooking entirely--has given many thousands of dollars to charities, and has often given generously when his ballplayers faced personal crises.

He often carries a side arm; more than once, he has lost patience and pulled out his gun, aiming it at the person who offended...
