"Elliott Maddox, a product of East Orange, New Jersey, came to the Yankees in March from the Texas Rangers, and brought with him one of the best credentials for defensive play in the American League. His outstanding glovework was immediately made a vital part of game strategy by manager Bill Virdon.
Elliott came up through the Detroit Tiger system while working towards a pre-law degree from the University of Michigan. He went to Washington in the Denny McLain trade of 1970 and outlasted all those involved on the Washington-Texas side.
The 25-year-old Jerseyite is back home, filling a key role in the fortunes of the Yankees."
