The New York Yankees waited nine years for championship No. 27

Owner, George Steinbrenner, has waited years for his team to win again. At long last, his team did. Fittingly, the game was dedicated to Steinbrenner, the 79-year-old owner. Unfortunately, his health prevented him from attending the game. His son, Hal, the team’s managing general partner, accepted the championship trophy.

With baseball season over, organizations are looking to baseball greats to draw analogies between the world of sports and business. Some audience favorites include: Tommy LasordaDusty BakerSparky AndersonJim BoutonSteve Garvey and Johnny Bench.
