"These three great Yankee stars represent a tremendous amount of batting power plus superior fielding abilities.
Hank Bauer, for example, appeared in 141 games and had a nice .293 batting average with 162 hits, including 31 doubles, six triples and 17 homers.
Yogi Berra is regarded as the best catcher in the American League. He hit .273 in 142 games and had 17 doubles, one triple and 30 homers and batted in 98 runs.
Mickey Mantle is the youngster who inherited Joe DiMaggio's center field spot. The talented switch-hitter hit .311 in 142 games and had 37 doubles, seven triples and 23 home runs."
