"To be a Yankee is a thought in everyone's head . . .Just walking
into Yankee Stadium, chills run through you. I believe there was a
higher offer, but no matter how much money is offered, if you want
to be a Yankee, you don't think about it."
Jim "Catfish" Hunter
pitcher (1975-79), on his heralded free agency signing, New Years
Eve 1974.
