Before he was ever a New York Yankee, George Steinbrenner III was born into an Ohio shipping family. After attending Williams college, Steinbrenner served a stint in the U.S. Air Force, picked up a master's degree in physical education from Ohio State University and went on to assistant football-coaching positions at Northwestern and Purdue universities. In 1957, Steinbrenner returned to Ohio to help run his father's Kinsman Marine Transit Company and later the American Shipbuilding Company.
