Page "Dave Winfield" Paragraph 39

The Winfield Foundation also became a bone of contention in Steinbrenner's public feud with Winfield.

Steinbrenner alleged the Foundation was mishandling funds and often held back payments to the organization, which resulted in long, costly court battles.

It also created the appearance that Steinbrenner was contributing to the Foundation, when in actuality, Steinbrenner was holding back a portion of Winfield's salary.

Ultimately, the Foundation received all its funding and the alleged improprieties proved unfounded.
