George Steinbrenner :: Billy Martin
In a lifetime full of feuds and fights, Billy Martin’s most famous sparring partner was George Steinbrenner. The Yankees’ skipper on five different occasions, Martin’s tenure lasted longer than one season just once. Martin publicly feuded with The Boss, calling him a convict, and forcing Steinbrenner’s hand by fighting with everyone from Reggie Jackson to a Minneapolis Marshmallow salesman.
“No dogma taught by the present civilization seems to form so insuperable an obstacle in a way of a right understanding of the relations which culture sustains as to wilderness, as that which declares that the world was made especially for the uses of men. Every animal, plant, and crystal controverts it in the plainest terms. Yet it is taught from century to century as something ever new and precious, and in the resulting darkness the enormous conceit is allowed to go unchallenged.” ~ John Muir
