ROY HAMEY (General Manager)
"H. Roy Hamey has spent virtually his entire life in baseball. Eighteen of those 38 years have been in the Yankee organization.
His career started in his hometown of Springfield, Ill., where he served as a business manager in 1925. Nine years later, he entered the Yankee organization and worked up through the farm system. He left the Yankees to become president of the American Association; later he served as general manager of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Between the latter two posts, he returned to the Yankees as assistant G.M. and assumed the general manager's chair after the 1960 season.
With Manager Ralph Houk he teamed up to build the Yankees into the powerful championship club that developed last year. While keeping the Yankees strong at the top, Roy has brought new life into the club's farm system in the Topping-Webb formula to maintain organizational strength for the future."

J. ARTHUR FRIEDLUND (Secretary and General Counsel)
"J. Arthur Friedlund has served as the Yankees secretary and general counsel during the entire Topping-Webb regime. An eminently successful Chicago attorney, Art Friedlund serves as counsel for many large corporations.
All of his varied activities restrict his opportunities to watch the Yankees, but he sees the champions in spring training, at Yankee Stadium and in Chicago when his schedule permits."
