"Fran Healy joined the Yankees early this year from Kansas City in a trade for pitcher Larry Gura. It was a good acquisition for New York, for Fran is a dependable catcher who has enjoyed productive years with the Royals, and who offers experience and sound defense. One of the fastest catchers in the game, he stole 16 bases two years ago, most by a catcher in 37 years.
Fran stands 6'5" and weighs 210. He's a lifelong resident of Holyoke, Massachusetts and a graduate of American International College. Fran, whose father and uncle both played pro ball, will be 30 on September 6."
