I Coulda Been A Contender
Great to hear from you. Yes, Howard was so good. And yes, he was the first Black with Yankees according to Wikipedia. Fun memories of those years. Hope all is well.
Roger,
I was born in 1951.
My favorite catcher is Elston Howard, who, if I remember correctly, took over catching from Yogi Berra. Great catcher - great hitter.
.
Was Elston the first African American hired by the Yankees to play MLB?
