Where Are They Now? (6/25)

Frank Tepedino played parts of 5 seasons with the Yankees between 1967 and 1972. He took on a greater calling after his career as a NY City fireman and was at the World Trade Center on 9/11. In fact his company lost one of its men.

Roy White excelled as the Yankees left fielder from 1965-1979. Though he had a weak arm, he could track a fly ball as well as anyone and played an excellent left field. He was also a good hitter, with a .271 lifetime batting average. Roy survived the bad old days of the 1960s and earned two World Series rings in 1977-1978.

Roy recently started "The Roy White Foundation", which "provides financial assistance to young adults and children whose desire to further their education is inhibited by financial complications. It is our mission to help these individuals pursue their dreams and aspirations by easing the frustrating burden of monetary obligations." The Foundation will be holding a big fund raising golf outing on July 14, which will include a dinner honoring Bobby Murcer and Bucky Dent.

Richard Dotson is best known for his time as a member of the Chicago White Sox, he went 22-6 to help the pale hose capture the '83 AL West crown, but he spent the 1988 season and the beginning of 1989 in Pinstripes.

Dotson compiled a 12-9 record with 5.00 ERA. in 29 starts (plus 3 relief appearances) in '88. He was just 2-5, 5.57 when the Yankees released him on June 22, 1989. Dotson is back with the White Sox organization, this time as pitching coach of the Charlotte Knights of the International League (Double-A).

Jack "BlackJack" McDowell has his ups (pitching in the '95 ALDS) and downs (flipping the bird to the Yankee Stadium crowd) during his stay in the Bronx in 1995. The Yankees acquired him prior to the '95 season for Lyle Mouton and Keith Heberling. He gave the Yankees 217.2 innings during the regular season, compiling a 15-10, 3.93

McDowell was credited with 2 losses in the ALDS including the heartbreaking finale, in which he served up the game winning hit to Edgar Martinez. He left as a free agent after the season. McDowell was always into music and various bands. He now pretty much plays full time with his band Stickfigure, which opened for The Smithereens in 1992.


Chuck Cary was a decent left-hander on some bad Yankees teams from 1989 - 1991. He split 22 games between the bullpen and starting rotation his initial year, compiling a 4-4 record with a 3.26 ERA. He was a regular part of the rotation in 1990, but was just 6-12 despite a 4.19 ERA (like we said the Yankees were bad). He was also knocked unconscious in a game in Detroit when he collided with big Steve Balboni.

Injuries limited him to just 10 games in 1991, and after missing a season, played his final year for the White Sox in 1993. Today Cary is the President/CEO of Sea Sotheby's International Realty in Destin, Florida.
