Yankees rely on minor leaguers and catchers in outfield
New York Yankee manager Bill Virdon forced a makeshift outfield with catcher Thurman Munson in left and Rick Dempsey in right as Ed Ermann moved from catcher to play center. Dempsey had previously outfielded twice. Dineen from the minors started in right. The beleaguered lineup lost Lou Piniella and Mickey Mantle injuries limited options as Mullis and Maddox were sidelined. Hunter pitched a four hit shutout over the White Sox, while Dineen caught six of nine balls hit to him and remained active on defense.
