The man who would be king: Meet almost Yankees owner Joe Molloy

TAMPA, Fla. -- It's a warm, sun-drenched weekday morning outside D.W. Webb Middle School, in the Town 'n' Country neighborhood of Tampa. Under a cloudless sky, Joe Molloy, a boulder of a man, bespectacled and clad in a gray Webb Middle School T-shirt, khaki shorts and black New Balance sneakers, is preparing for his first phys ed class of the day. He's going to have his sixth-graders play kickball, so he's placing orange cones around the grass field to serve as the bases. "They don't know how to set up the cones," Molloy laments to his fellow teacher, Timothy Ruff. "That's what you're here for," Ruff replies teasingly. A flock of students -- some wearing their gym-class attire, others who didn't bother to change -- surrounds Molloy, chattering at him as he puts the cones in the proper positions. He is trying to calm everyone down and get them to take their places. "OK, we'll play boys versus girls," Molloy booms. "Girls bat first!"

Nothing is going on right now. It’s best we reminisce on the past.

Interesting article. I did not remember this guy.

I thought it was interesting that he still has to work for a living. What I’m trying to say is it sounds like he either didn’t get a huge paycheck from the Yankees during his time, or his money was wasted somehow. The article says he actually got some money in the divorce settlement.

Yes, when Steinbrenner was suspended by MLB from 1990 to 1993, from 1992 to 1993, Joe Molloy was the acting Yankees president and owner.

Molloy is Steinbrenner’s ex-son-in-law, Steinbrenner’s daughter Jessica.

Steinbrenner’s sons-in-law was George’s preferred heirs, his sons did not want the job.
