Hated ex-Yankees pitcher Jack McDowell resurfaces Updated Mar 15, 2021; Posted Mar 15, 2021 Former right-hander Jack McDowell, pictured in 2018 throwing out a ceremonial first pitch before a Chicago White Sox game, led the 1995 Yankees with 15 wins. Facebook Share Yankees fans who were following the team a quarter century ago probably still have no love lost for 1995 staff ace Jack McDowell, who is returning to baseball this year as manager in a developmental summer league. The right-hander is a Chicago White Sox great, and while his one season in Yankees pinstripes looks good on paper, that doesn’t tell half of his story from that roller coaster year. Although leading the ’95 Yankees with 15 wins and racking up an AL-best eight complete games for a ballclub that ended the franchise’s long postseason drought at 13 seasons, McDowell earned his standing as a hated Yankee.
