"The Yankees moved to Fort Lauderdale [in 1962] for their first spring training ever on Florida's east coast. To say that it was a happy move is to make an understatement. Crowds were great, interest was high all spring and the weather was perfect. It meant a good start for the Yankees in defense of their title.
The Yankees are operating their Class D farm club in Fort Lauderdale this summer ... the new Fort Lauderdale Yankees of the Florida State League. Dan Topping, Jr., the son of the Yankee Co-Owner, is serving as general manager of the youthful Yankees."
