Yankees Pay Borowy Extra To Keep Rising Pitching Star
Hank Borowy emerged as a smart, quick-thinking pitcher for the Yankees after Paul Krichell found no pen to sign. Borowy secured an $8,000 deal plus a $500 raise when ink finally appeared. He has good control, a steep learning curve on grips, and a blistering fastball with a sharp curve, having won eight games and two shutouts, including a one hour 24 minute win over Detroit.
