Hunter Riddled By Dodgers In World Series Game One

Los Angeles Dodgers crushed the New York Yankees 6-1 to even the World Series at one game apiece. Catfish Hunter gave up three homers and five runs in 2 1/3 innings, with Ron Cey, Steve Yeager, and Reggie Smith delivering key blows. Hunter hinted at retirement after the season, noting his farm plans and a possible exit when his $3.5 million, five-year deal ends in 1979, while also humorously noting his still-armful pitching. He accepted his role as a sacrificial lamb to rest the Yankees’ staff and reflected on his career and future in farming.
