TBS Commemorates Steinbrenner With 'Seinfeld' Tribute

TBS will salute the late New York Yankees' owner George Steinbrenner by presenting a full week of Seinfeld episodes, showcasing Larry David as 'The Boss.'
The "very funny" network will strip the 10 installments from Monday July 19 through Friday July 23, with back-to-back episodes at 7 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. (ET/PT).

Steinbrenner, the Yankees celebrated and controversial owner and architect of the YES Network, died on July 13 of a heart attack. Steinbrenner, who was 80, and longtime Yankee Stadium public address announcer Bob Sheppard, who passed last Sunday at 99, were commemorated with a ceremony at the new Yankee Stadium on July 16.

TBS's bevy of Boss episodes begins with "The Opposite," the series fifth-season finale in which George Costanza (Jason Alexander) gets a job with the Yankees, before concluding with "The Muffin Tops," where Costanza loses his gig when Steinbrenner trades him for new chicken concessions at the Stadium.
