OK. George's boss at the Yankees. You know - the guy with the huge office and we only ever see the back of his head? (I can't remember his name, it's so long since I've seen any of those episodes.)

My question is, who plays him? Is it someone else doing his voice? My friend had this theory, that the voice was actually done by Jerry. I thought it was more likely to be Jason Alexander. But we're probably both wrong. Does anyone know? He never seemed to be credited.

Herr Steingrabber.

Sorry, that's just the Stankee hater in me. His name is George Steinbrenner.

Ah. I didn't realise he was actually a real person. I wasn't sure why we never actually saw his face, but that clears it up. Thanks.

Oliver is not Tom, and Steingrabber is an owner, not a player.

But yeah, there may be a point in there somwhere.

See, this is because I'm English, most likely.

A thread developed when it was revealed that Oliver Broadway does not know who Steinbrenner is. And then Ollie asked: <<<<<Who is Darryl Strawberry? See, this is because I'm English>>>>

I think the thing that threw me off was the fact that someone named "Broadway" doesn't recognize two very high-profile New York personalities.

That's not the Broadway I know.

Right on Dave - one of my favourite Kramer speeches. (next to The Bus etc.)

Kramer: So my dear you think you can get to Broadway.
        Well let me tell you something.  Broadway has no room
        for people like you.  Not the Broadway I know.
        My Broadway takes people like you and eats them
        up and spits them out.  My Broadway is the Broadway of
        Merman, and Martin, and Fontain, and if you think you
        can build yourself up by knocking other people down...
        ...GOOD LUCK...   (exits)
