Steinbrenner family

The family has owned the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball since George Steinbrenner purchased the franchise in 1973.

[1] Businessman George Steinbrenner owned the American Ship Building Company and served as its chairman, as well as purchasing sports franchises.

He sold two garages included in the sale, reducing the purchase price to $8.8 million ($60,399,400 in current dollar terms).

Her second marriage was to Joe Molloy, who served as managing general partner of the Yankees in 1992, while George was banned from baseball.

[11] Jennifer majored in business and was a Morehead Scholar at the University of North Carolina, before serving in the Yankees Public Affairs Department in 1984-85 and spending 23 years actively participating in the philanthropic community.

Jennifer has a distinguished record of contributing to various community projects and initiatives, including current commitments on the Board of Directors of Mary Lee's House (a child protection and advocacy center in Tampa), St. Joseph's Children's Hospital Foundation, Boys & Girls Club of Tampa Bay and serving on the executive committee of the Gold Shield Foundation, which was established in 1981 by her father, George M. Steinbrenner III.

At least 5,000 children annually participate in the events, which provide musical education and exposure to the fine arts.

She has also been instrumental in the development and growth of the Bronx Winter Wonderland event, which sees thousands of local youth visit the Stadium each year for a holiday extravaganza complete with decorations, festive music and food, and a holiday gift for each child in attendance.

[16] Robert Molloy, son of Jessica, works in operations for the Yankees, and produces movies with his company Pinstripe Productions.
