The Resume

    (December 3, 1969- )
    Born in Carmel, Indiana
    Birth name is Harold Steinbrenner
    Principal owner, managing general partner, and chairman of the New York Yankees
    Chairman and CEO of Steinbrenner Hotel Properties

Why he might be annoying:

    He looks like a younger version of David Hasselhoff.
    Some modern Yankee fans felt he micromanaged the team, which was a stark contrast to how his father ran the team.
    He's been accused of not having the same passion for the team the same way his father and brother did.
    He has his own personal Twitter account.
    He butted heads with Joe Girardi, which played a role in the latter's dismissal from the club.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He kept the Yankees a family run operation.
    He is an avid flying enthusiast.
    He was chosen by his siblings to be the face of the Yankees ownership, following the death of their father.
    He and his brother gradually took over the reins of the Yankees as they moved into the new Yankee Stadium and won the World Series in their first year at the new ballpark (2009).
    Despite the criticism he received for not being a big spender, he wasn't afraid to make a blockbuster trade for Giancarlo Stanton and sign Gerrit Cole to a lucrative long-term free agent contract.
