He bought a minority interest in the Indians in 1961, and was a limited partner during the tenures of William R. Daley, Gabe Paul and Vernon Stouffer. In 1973, however, he sold his Indians interest to become a limited partner in George Steinbrenner's syndicate that bought the New York Yankees. Five years later, he sold off his Yankees interest and bought a 63 percent stake in the Indians. O'Neill was an alumnus of the University of Notre Dame, where he played basketball. ==References== *(Cleveland Indians owners ) *(O'Neill's entry in the Encyclopedia of Cleveland History ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Steve O'Neill (owner)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
