Righetti Seeks Acknowledgment For Yankee Reliever Year
In his first year as a reliever Dave Righetti saved 31 games, fourth in the American League and third in Yankees history. He says he deserved a thank you from owner George Steinbrenner, not money, just a handshake or simple praise. He laments being taken for granted despite a strong season and a 22-save second half after a late shoulder issue and a 15 day disabled list stint.
