"While Don Hood spends his winter months fishing and hunting in his native South Carolina, he'll reflect back on June 15. Unlike Friday the 13th, Friday the 15th contained much good luck for the slender 29-year-old left-hander.
It was on that day Don heard the news that he was becoming a New York Yankee. Rearing back and throwing for the World Champions was news that could make any pitcher's head spin, but Don remained cool, calm, and collected. Instead of looking back at the '78 World Championship flag flying masterfully overhead at the Stadium, Don looks forward to helping the Bronx Bombers in their quest for a '79 banner. And by throwing both short and long relief, in addition to spot starting, his value increases all the more."
