"Brad Gulden joined the Yankee roster just four days prior to the first spring training workout of 1979. Gulden had previously been in the Dodger system where had batted .284 or above for each of the last three seasons, moving one notch up the ladder every year. Last year, the 22-year old catcher hit .294 in Triple-A ball, and his left-hand hitting stroke accounted for 72 RBIs. Brad also led Pacific Coast League receivers in putouts, assists and double plays, and displayed a powerful throwing arm.
A fine athlete, Goldie played football and basketball in high school in addition to being a four-year baseball letterman. A native of the Minnesota north country, the 5-11, 175-pounder enjoys hunting and fishing in the off-season. But it's his in-season ability that makes him valuable Yankee property now."
