1964 YANKEES YEARBOOK "DEVELOPING FUTURE STARS"

"No department of the New York Yankee organization is more important than the minor league operation. For the Yankees themselves depend on the continued development of player talent to keep the parent club strong. And rookies do make the Yankees. Two years ago, four present Yanks all made the club as rookies - Tom Tresh, Jim Bouton, Joe Pepitone and Phil Linz - and this on a defending championship club. As a matter of fact, only five Yankees remain on the present squad from the 1958 World Championship club that won the come-from-behind victory over Milwaukee - Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford, Elston Howard, Bobby Richardson and Tony Kubek.
Eighteen of the present Yankees were developed in the club's minor league system and two others were acquired by trade and trained in the Yankee minor league organization.
Quantity has never been important to the Yankees, but quality is! The Yankees seek only young players who have a chance to make historic Yankee Stadium. A highly developed and respected Yankee development program brings young prospects to the Stadium in the shortest possible time. This system has been responsible for the Yankees' unmatched record of 28 American League pennants and 20 World Championships.
Great opportunities are available to ambitious young ball players today who aspire to play their major league baseball at the Home of Champions - Yankee Stadium. As Joe DiMaggio so aptly put it, 'It's great to be a Yankee.' "
