Yankee Stadium lures Catfish Hunter to New York
Catfish Hunter chose the Yankees over higher bids from San Diego and Kansas City and two other clubs. He cited a lifelong dream of playing in New York and the exposure it offers, wearing a Yankees cap at a New Year’s Eve news conference. The exact signing figure is guarded, estimated near 3.7 million dollars, with Yankees president Gabe Paul stressing return on investment and potential risks if Hunter’s arm falters.
