During this weeklong odyssey into parts of Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and upstate New York, the team would offer “meet and greet” opportunities to the local media as a marketing tool. On the first day of the tour, McKinney boarded a bus with general manager MacPhail, public-relations director Bob Fishel, manager Ralph Houk, and other club officials, including assistant PR director Appel. Appel wrote, “Rich was 25, curly-haired. … I introduced myself to him. … It was clear to him, I’m sure ,.. that I was a club official.”11 During their exchange of pleasantries, Appel could not believe it when McKinney asked where he could buy some marijuana. Shocked, Appel could not believe a player would ask a team official for drug advice or tell a team official he smoked grass.Scooter Livingstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10127687125468516172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72805078553416215.post-41991716505208629352012-05-07T01:58:04.957-04:002012-05-07T01:58:04.957-04:00He committed four errors FOR the Yankees?
