Born in Pontiac, Michigan, Howe would eventually become the National League Rookie of the Year in 1980, the second in a string of four Dodger rookies of the year (Rick Sutcliffe, Fernando Valenzuela, and Steve Sax were the others). That year he saved 17 games, establishing a new rookie record. The following year, Howe helped the Dodgers win the World Series against the New York Yankees.

After briefly pitching for the Minnesota Twins and Texas Rangers and being out of the major leagues for four years, Howe signed with the Yankees, where he once again pitched effectively. However, in 1992, Howe became the first player to be banned from baseball for life because of substance abuse. He successfully appealed the suspension and re-signed with the Yankees, where he had one final great season in 1994, recording 15 saves and a 1.80 earned run average as the Yankees' closer. He failed to repeat the performance the following year and was relegated to a setup role, and was released in June 1996 after posting an 0-1 record with a 6.35 ERA.
