Well, plenty of people dislike him.
Here is a quote from Don Zimmer:
“I don’t begrudge anything today’s players get. It astounds me that owners would pay as much for one player as they have for the entire ballclub. I can’t relate to that, but I can accept it as how the game has changed. One way it hasn’t changed, though, is that money doesn’t necessarily buy championships. I live in Tampa and I watched the team there spend a ton of money before the 2000 season. Then they went out and won 69 games. You spend all that money, you expect to win. Maybe that’s what makes Steinbrenner different. He gets accused of spending a lot of money and he does. But he wins. Must be because he spends it on the right players.”
