TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — George Steinbrenner’s family is rooting hard for the late New York Yankees owner to be elected to the Hall of Fame.

Steinbrenner, former manager Billy Martin and one-time players’ union head Marvin Miller also are on the ballot. Results will be announced Dec. 6.

Hank Steinbrenner, co-chairman of the Yankees and the oldest son of longtime owner, says very few owners changed baseball as much as the Boss.

Hank Steinbrenner told The Associated Press on Monday that his father’s biggest accomplishment in the game was transforming the Yankees back into a winning franchise.
