1955 Back-O'-The-Card: Frank Leja

"Frank became the Yankees' first bonus player when he signed late in 1953. A standout performer in American Legion baseball, he had offers from 14 clubs before deciding on the Yankees.
Last season he traveled with the New Yorkers and although he didn't see much action he picked up many 'tricks of the trade.' Frank is tabbed for future stardom."
