Why Seinfeld Cut The Real George Steinbrenner's Cameo
Here's why Seinfeld cut the real George Steinbrenner's cameo appearance. At the end of Seinfeld season 5, George's prolonged stint on the unemployment list finally came to an end when the New York Yankees hired him to be assistant to the traveling secretary. This allowed Seinfeld to make then Yankees owner George Steinbrenner a recurring character on the show. An obviously heightened and caricatured version of the real man, Seinfeld's Steinbrenner was voiced by Larry David. Actors Mitch Mitchell and Lee Bear played Steinbrenner, but their faces were never seen onscreen.
