"Elston comes to the Yankees as one of the most heralded rookies in many years. Although he has been a catcher and has been carried on their roster as a catcher, it is thought that he may be converted into an outfielder. It seems he is just too good not to play regular major league ball, and yet it is hard to displace a veteran as good as Yogi Berra.
Elston was with Toronto in 1954, and he batted .331. He had 22 homers and 108 runs batted in to his credit. Moreover, from what the experts say, statistics don't tell half the story."
