The best line from his manager...

 

'We were just playing catch in the outfield and I turned and whipped the ball to the bat boy and I hit the bird. But it wasn't intentional,' insisted Winfield. 'It was an accident.'

'They really hate us up here,' said Yankee reliever Rich Gossage.

Yankee manager Billy Martin was outraged by the charges but later saw a humorous side.

'That is the first time this year he has hit the cutoff man,' Martin said.
