Yeager Finds Arizona Tough on New Visitors
- Share via
TEMPE, Ariz. — Ex-Dodger Steve Yeager has had a rude introduction to the Cactus League.
In his first week in the Seattle camp:
--The rearview mirrors on each door of his Jaguar, which carries the license plate “Yeag 7,” were stolen. A sign was left that read, “I Love You, Steve.”
--Driving a Porsche, which he was given as a loaner, Yeager received a ticket for an illegal turn.
--Then, the Jaguar having been returned with new mirrors, Yeager awoke the other morning to find footprints on the trunk and hood.
In addition, shortly after unpacking following his arrival, the closet bar holding up his wardrobe collapsed, leaving the clothes in a pile on the floor.
And new teammate Spike Owen, the shortstop who has always worn No. 7, took the shirt off Yeager’s back, forcing him to switch to No. 1.
