"Born and raised in Brooklyn and a graduate of Manual Training High School, Joe Pepitone is a Yankee with a future. A Texas League All-Star last year with Amarillo where he clouted 21 home runs and hit .316, Joe has shown remarkable versatility for a rookie with the Yankees. He has been used in center field, at first base and as a pinch hitter. Joe swings a 'quick' bat (as they say in the dugout) and is a strong defensive fielder."
