The iconic image of George sleeping under his own desk stems from the 1997 episode 'The Nap,' in which George gets the area under his desk expanded so he can sleep while at work (working for the Yankees at the time). He also gets extra compartments built so he can house an alarm clock, magazines and candy bars. His plan to sleep at work was going pretty well until Yankees' owner George Steinbrenner came into his office and waited for him, not allowing George to get up and forcing him to stay under the desk until he could devise a plan to get Steinbrenner out of his office.
Eventually, Steinbrenner found George and the great desk was destroyed. It's one of the more iconic episodes of the later seasons of the show, which is one of the most successful in television history.
The Yankees will play the Boston Red Sox on Aug. 21 and between the rivalry, and this giveaway, it should be one of the best-attended games of the season.
The Yankees will be back home on Friday night against the Athletics at 7:05 p.m. ET.
