"Major attention is given by the entire Yankee organization to the Minor League Department of the New York Yankees. For no section of the operation is more important. The Yankees of tomorrow are being developed now on the playing fields of the minor leagues today. Most of the Yankees on today's roster were developed within the organization.
Outstanding Yankee scouts seek 'Yankee-type' players. Despite the new restrictive legislation, the Yankees intend to maintain the top brand of baseball they have been presenting at the famed Home of Champions."
