Yankee Outlook for Another Pennant Not Too Rosy
McCarthy's lineup lacks punch as the era of guaranteed New York success ends. The Yankees held a sparse spring workout at Asbury Park with Ernie Bonham and others joining camp soon, while Bill Dickey looms as a key contract holdout and DiMaggio eyes a big drop in pay. The club faces tight finances, a reshaped infield and uncertain outfield while rivals like the Indians and Browns loom large for 1943.
