The company remained listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Later that year, top sales executive Timothy McCool admitted to cooking the books for adidas by reporting to auditors that the company owed $2.2 million to footwear retailer 'Just For Feet', when the actual number was less than $50,000. Background Noteadidas had grown out of a rift between German brothers Adi and Rudi Dassler (which was not known to many), who created athletic shoe giants adidas and Puma. As WWI was winding down, Adi scavenged for tires, rucksacks, and other wastage to create slippers, gymnastics shoes, and soccer cleats at home... 1] The New York Yankees have won a record 26 World Series titles (including three straight from 1998 to 2000) and 39 American League pennants (including the 2003 championship) since 1903, making the team the most successful professional sports franchise in history. Current stars such as Derek Jeter, Roger Clemens, and Bernie Williams follow in the footsteps of past Yankee icons such as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, and Mickey Mantle. The Yankees have been very successful off the field as well, generating huge sums from regional media deals. George Steinbrenner, who bought the team in 1973, also owns 60% of new sports cable channel Yankee Entertainment and Sports. |
