No, Steinbrenner is a German name but not Jewish. He is originally from Lorain, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland.

Because he may just be the most arrogant owner in all of sports. If the mighty Yankees don't win the Championship, then the universe must be in disarray. The Yankees are the most followed and feared team in baseball. But there are 29 other teams and they all want to win. But Steinbrenner thinks the all powerful Yankees should be the Champions every other year. It's proof that money isn't always what it takes to win. He thinks he can throw his unlimited money supply around, spend about $200 million dollars each year, and boom, they win the title. But when they don't, he looks for people to blame (manager, general manager, players). The reality is, money helps, but it is not the sole reason a team wins. The Yankees are always a major contender, and it's no mystery why their in the playoffs every year. But it takes more than just money to win in the playoffs. Everybody has to come together, do their job up to their capabilities and just get the job done. He will never admit it, but he's part of the problem.

I do not think he's jewish- the old Bill Gallo cartoons in the NY Daily News used to depict him in a German uniform with one of those helmets with the spike on it. His name was General von Steingrabber, and spoke in the cartoons with a German accent.

I googled him and found nothing to support the idea that he is Jewish. If he was, wouldn't I have found that on google? Actually, I couldn't find anything that even mentions his religion.

Ok let's think this one through. He can't be Jewish, just look at the way he spends money.....
....I can make this joke, I'm Jewish ;-)
But in all seriousness, he's Christian

No. He might have Jewish ancestry, but he was raised Christian.
