Teddy totally exposes Richard's selfish cowardice, intimidating him, wounding him with a pistol shot, and then molesting and threatening to rape his wife.

Jackson returned to the team unrepentant, telling reporters that he did not feel he had done anything wrong. That renewed Martin's rage; he approached reporters to excoriate the outfielder. Not content with that, he again tracked down writers waiting for a team flight and delivered the fatal lines. Jackson and Steinbrenner, said Martin, "deserve each other.
