Twenty-one months of litigation caused by George Steinbrenner’s removal from control of the New York Yankees came to an end when the third and final lawsuit was dropped. Leonard Kleinman, the team’s former chief operating officer, dropped the suit in U.S. District Court after receiving a $1.05-million payment from Steinbrenner. Commissioner Fay Vincent had said he would not consider a request for Steinbrenner’s reinstatement until the suits have been settled.
