Best of Steinbrenner on "Seinfeld"

Episode: "The Secretary" (1994)

Setup: George Costanza is trying to get a raise, when Steinbrenner begins reminiscing about the time he was hitchhiking and was picked up by a bakery truck. That leads to a major digression.

Quote: "Sure, I like a cupcake every now and then, like everybody else. You know I like it when they have a little cream on the inside. It's a surprise. That's good. Plus the chocolate ones are good, too. Sometimes I just can't even make up my mind. A lot of times I'll mix the two together, make a vanilla fudge."

Episode: "The Bottle Deposit 2" (1996)

Setup: Steinbrenner is trying to figure out Co- stanza's erratic behavior.

Quote: "Let me ask you something, George. You having any personal problems at home? Girl trouble, love trouble of any kind? . . . What about drugs? You doing some of that crack cocaine? You on the pipe?"

Episode: "The Calzone" (1996)

Setup: Costanza and Steinbrenner are discussing lunch. Costanza suggests his employer broaden his dining options.

Quote: "Nope. I find something I like, I stick with it. From 1973 to 1982 I ate the exact same lunch every day: turkey chili in a bowl made out of bread. Bread bowl, George. You'd eat the chili, then you'd eat the bowl. Nothing more satisfying than looking down after lunch and just seeing a table."

Episode: "The Caddy" (1996)

Setup: Steinbrenner has just told Frank Costanza that his son is dead. Frank ignores the news to berate the Boss about why he traded prospect Jay Buhner to Seattle.

Quote: "Well, Buhner was a good prospect, no question about it. But my baseball people loved Ken Phelps' bat. They kept saying 'Ken Phelps, Ken Phelps.'"

Episode: "The Millennium" (1997)

Setup: Costanza is trying to get fired from the Yankees, so he puts on and then soils an authentic Babe Ruth uniform. Instead of being angry, Steinbrenner is pleased.

Quote: "[Ruth was] nothing more than a fat old man, with little-girl legs."
