Didi Gregorius continues to have the hot hand. The New York Yankees shortstop, who made history Wednesday (September 20) by shattering Derek Jeter's single-season franchise home run record for a shortstop with his 25th circuit blast of the campaign, has signed an exclusive collectibles deal with Steiner Sports, it was announced today.

After a bidding war with a total of 32 bids in the final two days, the 1955 major league contract that Ted Williams signed with the Boston Red Sox sold for $48,456 as the leading seller on the Steiner Sports Memorabilia "Spring Fever" auction which concluded last night (Sunday, May 7). The contract also included the signature of Red Sox President Joe Cronin and original revisions made by Red Sox attorney Jack Hayes.

The winning bidder asked not to be identified.

More than 1,600 were on the on-line auction block during a 33 day period. Sales for the auction totaled nearly $1 million.

Yankee Hall of Fame players from yesteryear spearheaded the next four leading bids. The $36,716 winning bid on an 8x10 photograph signed by the Yankee immortal first baseman Lou Gehrig (16 total bids) was second on the leaderboard, while an official American League baseball signed by iconic outfielder Babe Ruth garnered $20,206 (nine total bids). Mickey Mantle memorabilia nailed down the fourth and fifth spots: Mantle's 10-karat gold "Career Ring" with uniform #7 in its original Balfour box sold for $16,955 (eight total bids), and a Mantle signed baseball with a personal inscription had a final bid of $12,756 (17 total bids).

"The action was fast and furious on the Williams contract during the last day," said Steiner Sports founder Brandon Steiner. "These one-of-a-kind collectibles attract great attention, and sports collectors know that they can always find a priceless memorabilia piece in our auctions."

Previous Steiner auctions were headlined by the uniform of Yankees pitcher Don Larsen worn during the only World Series Perfect Game in history in 1956 with a winning bid of $756,000, and a game-used glove worn by Brooklyn Dodgers immortal Jackie Robinson during the 1955 and 1956 seasons which sold for $373,000.

Keith Olbermann commentary on Steiner Sports Jeter final season memorabilia on ESPN/April 2, 2014

Mike Tyson hasn’t been in the ring in nearly a decade, but his popularity hasn’t waned. You would have thought that he had a championship fight on the horizon when 700 fans of the “Sweet Science” flocked to meet the former heavyweight champ at the Steiner Store on Saturday (April 5) in Garden City on Long Island. It took 12 security guards to escort “Iron Mike” from the signing because a massive crowd had gathered in Roosevelt Field Mall. The Tyson fans paid from $149 for a photo op to $2,000 for a VIP package with all five former champs.


Evander Holyfield vs. Mike Tyson II (June 28, 1997) and Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Roberto Duran II (November 25, 1980) produced two of the most bizarre finishes in the history of boxing. The headlines blared “Tyson bites Holyfield,” and “No Mas.” Steiner Sports presented boxing aficionados the chance to meet these boxing legends, along with Thomas “Hitman” Hearns, at the ticketed event. The Tyson fans paid from $149 for a photo op to $2,000 for a VIP package with all five former champs.


Tyson quipped that Steiner needed to put a fan in between he and Holyfield so that another brawl wouldn’t ensue similar to their heyday battles, but both former kingpins were all smiles during the many photo ops. Duran hugged just about everyone there, including Holyfield upon his arrival.

​Holyfield and Tyson renewed their late nineties heavyweight rivalry.  The duo had engaged in a pair of epics at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. In the first on November 9, 1996 Holyfield outmuscled Tyson to score one of the most monumental upsets in boxing history. Holyfield became the first heavyweight since Muhammad Ali to regain the heavyweight title twice. The rematch was one of boxing’s most bizarre encounters on June 28, 1997, and saw Tyson bite off a piece of Holyfield’s ear to be disqualified by referee Mills Lane.

Like Holyfield and Tyson, Sugar Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran battled in one of the most famous championship fights in boxing history. After Duran took the title from Leonard in a unanimous decision on June 20, 1980 in Montreal, a rematch was inevitable. Just five months later, on November 25 in New Orleans, Duran said “No Mas” and Leonard regained the belt. It gained its famous moniker at the end of the eighth round when Durán turned away from Leonard, towards the referee and quit by saying "No más." To this day, Duran says that stomach cramps. Leonard was the winner by a technical knockout at 2:44 of Round 8, regaining the WBC Welterweight Championship.Nine years later, Leonard again beat Duran in their third match up by unanimous decision on December 12, 1989, in a fight that didn’t have nearly the hoopla of the first two.


Leonard and Thomas “Hitman” Hearns  likewise had classic encounters. They fought twice, once in 1981 and again in 1989, both are considered to be epics, both at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. In their first encounter on September 16, 1981, for the undisputed Welterweight championship, Leonard beat Hearns by TKO at 1:45 in the 14th round when the referee stopped the fight.

After almost eight years, the Leonard-Hearns rematch finally happened. It was promoted as "The War". Leonard (35-1 with 25 KOs) and Hearns (46-3 with 38 KOs) met on June 12, 1989 at Caesar's Palace in a scheduled twelve-rounder for the WBC & WBO super-middleweight titles. Though Hearns had Leonard on the canvas twice, the judges scored the fight a draw, with both boxers retaining their respective titles. The decision was soundly booed, as most felt that Hearns had won.


Hearns and Duran fought only once for the WBO Super Welterweight championship. That was a dominating performance by the Hitman, who dropped Duran twice in the first round. After nailing Duran with a devastating right to the jaw in the second round, Hearns stepped back and Duran fell face first to the canvas. The fight was over.​​

The memorabilia collection of fabled Brooklyn Dodgers third baseman and Oakland, California favorite son Harry Arthur “Cookie” Lavagetto is on the Steiner Auctions online auction block, and will include such vintage collectibles as a baseball signed by Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lavagetto’s game-used baseball glove from the 1940’s, a Dodgers team autographed baseball that includes signatures of such immortals as Jackie Robinson and Pee Wee Reese, and Lavagetto’s 1948 Oakland Acorns Pacific Coast League Championship ring.

Lovagetto’s Silver Lifetime Pass presented by Major League Baseball, an autographed Honus Wagner photograph, and a baseball signed by legendary manager Casey Stengel are also up for grabs.

Lavagetto is perhaps best known for breaking up the no-hitter of Yankees pitcher Bill Bevens in Game 4 of the 1947 World Series at Ebbets Field with two outs in the ninth inning, in what became known as the “Cookie Game.”

Lavagetto’s first professional team was the Oakland Oaks in his hometown, where he was tagged with the nickname “Cookie” after one of the team’s owners. He then played 10 seasons in the National League with the Pittsburgh Pirates (1934-36) and most notably with the Brooklyn Dodgers (1937-41 and 1946-47, missing four seasons serving in the United States Navy during World War II). He finished his career returning to the Oaks for two seasons (1948-50). Lavagetto later managed in the majors with the Washington Senators and Minnesota Twins.

In all, more than 1,000 pieces of memorabilia are on the block.

Brandon Steiner, the highly successful entrepreneur and sports marketer, has authored his third book, Living on Purpose, which offers a plethora of advice and stories about faith, fortune, and fitness. The founder and CEO of Steiner Sports uses his book to share with others what “will lead you to an extraordinary life.”


The Brooklyn native and longtime Scarsdale resident is frank in sharing the pitfalls of success, he says bluntly: "I had more money than I ever dreamed I could have... I should have been on top of the world, as all my hard work had finally paid off in a huge way...but I was emotionally bankrupt."


This third book strays away from his usual genre of the first two books he wrote, which focus on successful business practices. His latest venture digs into the importance of balance in life, in how to be successful in all aspects of life to truly be happy and enjoy life, something he has been able to realize.


Says Harvey Mackay, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Swim With The Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive: “’Living on Purpose’ should be required reading for every young person starting out in a career. Sports marketing master Brandon Steiner shares remarkable insights into how to win at the game of life when business success isn’t enough.


Aside from being a successful businessman and a talented author, Brandon is a sought after media personality, being a frequent guest on 98.7 FM/ESPN-NY Radio and serves as the cohost of the YES Network’s Yankees-Steiner: Memories of the Game series. He’s given talks at major universities, including Harvard and Yale, and at several Fortune 500 companies.


Brandon is dedicated to giving back to his community. He was instrumental in helping found the Falk College Department of Sport Management at his alma mater, Syracuse University. He supports several charities, but one of his favorites is Family Services of Westchester, a not-for-profit organization that helps provide quality social and mental health services to its clients. With Brandon’s help, the organization was able to open two group homes for teenage boys and girls who have no place to call home.


Brandon lives in Scarsdale, New York, with his wife Mara, to whom he’s been happily married for thirty years. They have three children: Crosby, Nicole, and Keith. He bleeds Syracuse orange and enjoys hosting pickup basketball games at his house twice a week for friends, colleagues, professional athletes, celebrities, and anyone else who will pass him the ball.


Mariano Rivera and Brandon Steiner have worked together since Mo’s early years with the Yankees. Their time together, which continues to this day, has impacted Brandon greatly. Here is an excerpt from the book that depicts just how profound that impact is: “Mariano and I have worked together for more than twenty years, and we’ve had these long conversations while I drove him to various appearances. Inevitably, those talks would turn to subjects of faith. I learned about the specifics of Christianity and how it differed from Judaism. We talked about divine intervention and ways to become a more faithful person, and I have to say, Mariano convinced me with his arguments.


Our relationship started me on a journey of faith that I’m still on to this day. I never thought a skinny kid from Panama with broken English was going to have such a profound impact on me, but I’ve come to believe that God gives us signs and uses people to redirect our path sometimes. Whether we choose to acknowledge those signs is up to us.”


Brandon also had a unique relationship with another former Yankee, Alex Rodriguez. After his suspension in 2014, Rodriguez reach out to Brandon for help mending fences with all those he had hurt and disappointed. Here is what Brandon has to say about that experience with A-Rod, and what he learned: “Mercy and forgiveness don’t always come to you when you want them. But when you do the right things consistently, you can move forward in a positive way. You might never get the forgiveness you seek; however, you can lay your head down at night knowing you did everything within your power to repair a fractured relationship. How the other person chooses to respond is up to them. Hopefully one day, they’ll extend mercy your way.


Relationships are worth the effort, even when we’re asked to do more than what should be expected of us. Alex’s teammates, coaches, and fans didn’t have to forgive him after he was suspended. The team could’ve fired him, and baseball fans everywhere could’ve written him off as a lying, cheating failure. Many of them chose to fight for that relationship. For those who stuck around, years later, I’m confident they would tell you it was worth it.”

The uniform jersey worn by Aaron Judge in the Yankee rookie's debut game, which fetched a high bid of $160,644, was the top seller in SteinerAuctions' Mid-Summer Classic online auction which concluded Saturday (July 29).

There were 22 bids and over 13,000 views on the jersey worn by Judge when he smashed a home run in his first MLB at-bat on August 13, 2016.

The CookieLavagetto Collection was highlighted by a $28,159 final bid on a baseball signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, which was consigned by the famous Brooklyn Dodgers' son, Ernie.

The star memorabilia piece of the Michael Jordan Collection consigned by former Gatorade VP Bill Schmidt was a pair of Jordan signed, game-worn baseball cleats that drew a winning bid of $25,958. Jordan played for the White Sox AA affiliate Birmingham Barons in 1994. Also in this collection were a pair of game used sneakers and a pair of Player Editions sneakers that sold for $16,115 and $13,317.

There’s a new kid in town and his name is Gary Sanchez!

The New York professional athlete with the shortest time on his team’s roster has emerged as the leader in holiday gift-giving among sales at SteinerSports.com. Neophyte Gary Sanchez, the Yankees rookie sensation whose torrid hitting led to a pair of Player of the Week honors and Player of the Month for August in the American League, is atop the sales meter since Black Friday.

"The incredible numbers he put up in just two months have fans dreaming that he could be the next big star in baseball, and want to be a part of that. Gary has had one of the most impressive starts to a career in New York sports history, and that's intriguing."

Calogero Lorenzo “Chazz” Palminteri, favorite son of the Bronx, will announce his new product line of collectibles with Steiner Sports based on his Broadway hitA Bronx Tale, talk about the iconic play, and memories of the Belmont section of the Bronx. Chazz grew up just blocks away from Gino’s. “The Saddest Thing In Life Is Wasted Talent” is an actual saying that Chazz’s father used throughout his life, an epic line from A Bronx Tale, and other classic lines from the script, will be among the centerpieces of the collection which will include subway signs, display cases, and yes, autographed baseballs, after all, it’s the BRONX!


The Story Behind The Tale:
“A Bronx Tale” was inspired by actual events witnessed by Chazz Palminteri as a child.

The character, “Calogero” aka “C”, is based on Chazz Palminteri.  Chazz’s birth name is Calogero Lorenzo Palminteri.

“The Saddest Thing In Life Is Wasted Talent” is an actual saying that Chazz’s father used throughout his life.

Chazz wrote “A Bronx Tale” after being terminated as a bouncer after he refused entry to William Morris Super Agent, Swifty Lazar. Swifty promised Chazz that he wouldn’t have a job within 15 minutes and he was true to his word.

Chazz wrote “A Bronx Tale” over the course of a year and lived off money that was loaned to him by a friend.

After the story was completed, Chazz started to perform his one man show, “A Bronx Play”. The one man show was an immediate success and garnered the attention of Movie Studios.

A bidding war between movie studios started. Chazz’s only condition was that he write the screenplay and he play the role of Sonny. The studios offered him $250,000 and $500,000 to relinquish the rights to his story; He declined both offers.

A studio offered him $1,000,000 to purchase the story and release all rights.  He attended the meeting with his agent to accept the offer. He stepped away from the meeting and remembered childhood lessons from his father about wasting talent. He returned to the meeting to decline the $1,000,000 offer – Stunning the studio and his agent. At the time, Chazz only had a few hundred dollars remaining in his savings.

Two weeks later, as he was performing his One Man Show, he was told that Robert De Niro was in his dressing room and wanted to meet. Chazz walked into the dressing room and immediately stated “I want to write the screenplay and I want to play the role of Sonny”. Robert DeNiro agreed and made only one request- that he direct the film. The deal was solidified with a handshake.

A Bronx Tale made its theatrical debut on September 14, 1993. A Bronx Tale will celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2018
