Seinfeld Predicted The Yankees Firing Buck Showalter
Seinfeld predicted the New York Yankees firing manager Buck Showalter after the 1995 season. At the end of Seinfeld season 5, George Costanza was hired as the Yankees' assistant to the traveling secretary, allowing the sitcom to use one of MLB's premier franchises for multiple seasons. Most notably, this plot development gave Seinfeld one of its most memorable supporting characters: the fictionalized version of former Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, voiced by Seinfeld co-creator Larry David.
