Interesting wrinkle on the Steinbrenner controversy. I read that Steinbrenner had a fit because Piniella was his son's favorite player, though George liked him a lot too. His son, Hank, is the Yankees CEO now.
I'll have to check when I get home but Yankees yearbooks in 1977-78 might have a list of BK stores in NY metro.
In 1978 BK also produced a nice Yankees poster with drawings of each players headshot. They were give-aways like the cards, quite a few are still around.
