1963 Yankees Management Profiles

ROY HAMEY (General Manager)
"Keeping the Yankees strong is the task which Yankee General Manager Roy Hamey has assumed. And, like Manager Ralph Houk, the proof is in the pudding after his first two years with a pair of pennants and World Championships. Strengthening the Yankee minor league operation is also the aim of Roy Hamey in a determined effort to keep top-flight talent coming to the club. Roy has been in baseball 39 years and some 19 of these have been in the Yankee organization. He started in the game in 1925 as a minor league business manager and joined the Yanks nine years later, working up through the farm system. Later, he served as President of the American Association, general manager of both the Pittsburgh Pirates and Philadelphia Phillies, and twice as assistant GM of the Bombers."

Last year he was the highly successful GM of the Ft. Lauderdale Yankees, helping his club win the Florida State League title."
