Catfish Hunter Gets Second Game Assignment In World Series
Yankees turn to Catfish Hunter for Game II after Don Gullett’s shoulder issue. Hunter, a 20-game winner in five straight seasons and a Cy Young winner in 1974, has a 4-1 World Series record but a rough 1977 season. Billy Martin will determine innings based on how his eyes read Hunter’s performance. The opener saw Gullett go two innings before leaving with shoulder pain and Sparky Lyle, Willie Randolph, Thurman Munson, and Paul Blair delivering the walk-off run in the 12th.
