Reggie Jackson is in a bad slump and will only bat against right-handed pitchers who pitch with a mitten on their throwing arm, according to soon-to-be-vacationing Billy Martin. Furthermore, Martin said that southpaw starter Ken Holtzman will pitch only on the Jewish holidays of odd years, which is also apparently the only time Craig Nettles (.197) plans on getting a base...
...Brown, he's now eligible to be drafted by any major league team upon completion of his college career, a prospect to which he looks forward. With Hunter, Gullett, Figueroa, Holtzman and now Torrez, the Yankees don't need another pitcher, anyway...
Probably the biggest travesty is the Yankees' pitching staff. George Steinbrenner, the owner of the Yankees, isn't stupid.

She said she believes that it really doesn't matter how you state that you want delegations to act affirmatively. the most important consideration, she said, is the people administering the rules. "Even the clearest law won't be fully upheld," she snorted, if the people in charge of making affirmative action happen are prejudiced against women...
