‘Seinfeld’ fans mourn Jerry Stiller by remembering his all-time amazing sports moment on the show

Jerry Stiller, the actor and comedian who gained fame first with his wife Anne Meara and then as Frank Costanza on Seinfeld and Arthur Spooner on King of Queens, died at the age of 92, according to his son Ben Stiller.

That sent fans of his to go down a Stiller rabbit hole to find some of his all-time best moments from his career, and for sports fans everywhere, it meant bringing up the time his Seinfeld character screamed at the fictional version of New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner.

It came in The Caddy, an ep from Season 7, and Steinbrenner comes to the Costanzas’ house to inform them that George is dead (he wasn’t, of course). All Stiller’s Frank Costanza can do in response is berate Steinbrenner for the Yankees trading Jay Buhner for Ken Phelps in 1988:

Here are some tributes from Twitter:

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU TRADE JAY BUHNER FOR?"

Frank Costanza: What the hell did you trade Jay Buhner for?!? He had 30 home runs, over 100 RBIs last year, he's got a rocket for an arm, you don't know what the hell you're doin’!#JerryStiller #RIP https://t.co/z6bmJKsRPO
