Steinbrenner is the Only owner to be penalized twice for major offences. He was suspended in 1974 by Bowie Kuhn for making illegal Campaign contributions to president Nixon �?�1 am Able to evaluate a pattern of behaviour that Borders on the bizarre a Vincent said. A it is apparent to me that or. Steinbrenner does not appreciate the Gravity of his conduct a he said a in Short i must get the attention of this owner. He must learn to be More careful to listen to his advisers and to consider More carefully All the ramifications of his conduct it is my sincere Hope that the sanctions. W ill have the result i intend. If they do not 1 or my successor will be confronting or. Steinbrenner once again. And that cannot be in the Best interest of  the news spread quickly through Yankee stadium where new York played Detroit and fans greeted the announcement with a 90-second standing ovation. Yankees general manager Pete Peterson said 1 m absolutely shocked at the severity and All 1 can Tel you a it i Lee i very sad at this moment. The Man has his faults but he has done a lot of Good things. He s done a and especially Lor baseball in new \ Ork of competitor that a i Tor baseball and especially Tea the Yankees. He was the Type this town could really  Vincent disciplined Steinbrenner for violating Rule 21, otherwise known As the a Best interests of baseball clause. The investigation entered on Steinbrun Ncry a $40,000 payment to Spira a self described Gambler and a former employee of the David m. Winfield foundation. Winfield now plays for the California Angels. Steinbrenner testified before Vincent on july 5 and july 6 and gave various reasons for the payment. Among them were that he was afraid Spira would attack his family that he gave Spira the Money a out of the goodness of my heart and that he wanted to protect two former Yankees employees from embarrassing revelations. A i Hope this sad episode is now Over Quot Vincent said. This was the second straight summer baseball penalized one of its More famous characters. Last August Pete Rose was banned for life for gambling. Steinbrenner a 18-year tenure As principal owner of the Yankees has been peppered with disciplinary action by the commissioners office. He has been fined several times the most recently on july 5 when Vincent docked him $25,000 for tampering with Winfield in the Days after his May 11 Trade to California. The Yankees also were ordered to pay the Angels $200,000. On nov. 27, 1974, Kuhn suspended Steinbrenner for two years following his guilty plea to felony violations of the Federal election Law. Steinbrenner was reinstated on March i 1976, for Good behaviour but former Yankees employees have said recently that Steinbrenner violated terms of that suspension Vincent said he asked Steinbrenner to reduce his ownership interest to below 50 percent with in the next six months. A a the new Genera partner does not have to own More than or Steinbrenner a he said. Vincent said Steinbrenner can Only sell to a family member with the commissioners approval. Quot re a we Haven t ruled out his son As a general partner but we have imposed very severe restrictions on any family member involved with the team. If a family member was found to Deal with or. Steinbrenner he could be expelled from baseball Quot he said. Spira is under Federal indictment on charges he tried to extort Money from Steinbrenner and threatened the owner and Winfield. Spira has pleaded not guilty and a trial is expected later this year. A this decision is largely the result of admitted conduct by or Steinbrenner although there is ample evidence from other sources supporting the conclusion 1 have reached Quot Vincent said. A some May argue that nothing very serious is involved in this Case that or. Steiner enemy erred but not egregiously that there Are worse problems in baseball and that these errors do not Merit a Strong punitive response. 1 strongly disagree 1 Sal through the two Days of or. Steinbrenner a testimony and i am Able to judge the degree of Candor and contrition present in this Case. 1 am Able to discern an attempt to Force explanations in Hindsight  facts. ,. A emr. Steinbrenner knew that the payment to Spira was ill advised because All his advisers spoke against it. He knew Spira was or had been a Gambler a it matters not which a and yet he made the payment. He knew Spira claimed he had been promised Money or a Job or both and yet or. Steinbrenner made the payment thereby validating to claims that Spira was being paid Lor providing information. Quot he knew the payment if exposed would look bad and he knew Oral least should have known that it the payment were exposed it would bring disrepute to him and therefore to baseball. As a result Ellerts were made to cover it  Al
