Mr. Moneybags
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — George Steinbrenner 111 resents
being pictured as a Mr. Moneybags on an ego trip — out to
buy a World Series baseball championship for his New
York Yankees.
“It’s a false image,” the jetpropelled owner of the
American League titleholders said over the weekend
during one of his quick stopovers here to attend to his ship
building business.
“No one can be sure of buying a pennant. I am willing to
compare our expenditures the last four years with those of
any club. I don’t think many people are aware of what we
are now doing in the college and minor league areas.”
Steinbrenner, head of the syndicate which bought the
Yankees from CBS in September, 1974, insists that he has
adopted a long-range rather than a short-range view in
“Even if you
use the snort
form, it
could pay you to
see Block.”
Even the short form is more complicated
this year. So to be sure you pay the
smallest legitimate tax—it could pay you
to see Block. And if switching to the long
form will save you money, Block will
show you just how much.

blueprinting the club's future.
“We have more than doubled our budget for player
procurement,” he explained. “We now have a 20-man
scouting staff. We have added 14 new scouts, paying top
dollar.
“That isn’t all. We now have two coaches with every one
of our minor league teams. The purpose is to give the
managers more time to manage and to see that all of our
new players are exposed to topflight instruction.
“Normally, the minor league manager drives the bus,
picks up bats and sweeps the locker room floor. We don’t
want that. We want him to manage. We have got some of
the top pitching coaches, guys such as Hoyt Wilhelm and
Sammy Ellis.
“Our outlay is about $50,000 more per year for each of
our minor league teams.”
The Yankees who won the American League pennant
last year were not a collection of high-priced and high
salaried super stars, an exception being pitcher Catfish
Hunter signed New Year’s Eve, 1974, for a reported $3.75
million.
They were instead pieces of an intricate jigsaw put
together by Steinbrenner and his top command, Gabe
Paul. They jelled magically into a winning unit.
“We took a club that the year before had finished in
sixth place, 16 games out of the the top in its division,” the
Yankee owner said. “It was a team that drew only 700,000
fans. We picked up Hunter because we felt he would give
the team a new competitive drive.
“In four years, instead of 700,000 fans we were drawing
2 million. So what do we do? We could take the money and
run or we could put the money back in the ball club.
Personally, I felt we should put the money back into the
club — an obligation to the fans.”
In the free agency draft at the end of last season, the
Yankees picked up pitcher Don Gullett for $2 million and
outfielder Reggie Jackson for $2.9 million.
Critics said the Yankees were greedy and just flaunting
their wealth.
"I am dead set against free agency,” Steinbrenner said.
“It can ruin baseball.”
“But here it was. We had two choices. We could be like
ostriches and stick our heads in the ground. Or we could
face the situation realistically. If we didn’t buy, somebody
else would. So we bought, as did others.”

Road back tough
for Steve Kemp
By The Associated Press
It all fell apart for Steve
Kemp on Aug. 29,1976, and put
ting it back together has not
been easy.
But Kemp continues to make
strides along the road back, the
latest a lOth-inning home run
that gave the Detroit Tigers a 6-
5 exhibition baseball victory
over the Montreal Expos Mon
day.
“I’ve felt pressure from all
over,” says Kemp, a 22-year-old
outfielder who is trying to come
back from tom ankle ligaments
which cost him the final month
of the 1976 season. “It’s hard for
me now. I can't do all I want
because of this leg.”
Kemp, a 6-foot, 185-pound left
hander, was considered the
brightest pro prospect in the
country in 1975 when he was
belting home runs as a colle
giate All-American at Southern
Cal. The Tigers made him the
first pick in the entire January,
1976, draft.
The Tigers are counting on a
complete recovery from Kemp
and have penciled him in for
regular outfield duty. But he
says he’s not even sure of a spot
on the Detroit roster.
Kemp certainly didn’t hurt
his chances of sticking with the
Tigers Monday when he stroked
Joe Kerrigan’s first pitch in the
bottom on the 10th inning over
