Bernie Williams called George Steinbrenner HIMSELF when he hit free agency after the 1998 season 😧

Imagine this: Bernie Williams, 4-time World Series champ, picks up the phone and negotiates with George Steinbrenner himself—no agents, no middlemen, just Bernie negotiating with the boss to stay in pinstripes.

In the latest Diggin’ At Home episode, Bernie shares the intense behind-the-scenes story of negotiating his contract directly with one of the most powerful owners in sports history. The stakes were high, but so was the respect between them.
