I disagree. The team only took off when he was suspended(the second time) and Michaels and Showalter had the reigns - CQ Jul 14, 16:35 7
- Yup. Michaels was the architect of that dynasty. Once Steinbrenner was out he was able to make moves without the second - Krusty Jul 14, 16:38 2
  - don't get me wrong, George was a great great business man, but he meddled way too much -- nm - CQ Jul 14, 16:39 1
    - He really did, more so after they weren't winning in the 80's. But I have no doubt in my mind that Stick Michaels built those teams - Krusty Jul 14, 16:45

      - Yes but the point was that the team turned around when he was suspended. It did and I think it had a lot to do with him not being able - Krusty Jul 14, 16:51
