The BIZARRE DRAMA of the 1982 New York Yankees

In 1982, the New York Yankees traded for pitcher Doyle Alexander from the San Francisco Giants. Everything immediately went south, as in a 2-month stretch, Alexander got himself into so much trouble with the team that George Steinbrenner said he wished he never signed him in the first place. This is the story behind the drama.
