My Advice to Youngsters by Irv Noren
"Play as much baseball as possible. Always be ready to take advice. Don't ever think you know it all.
When you are older (around 14 or so) find out definitely what position you want to play. If you decide to become an outfielder, try to learn how to play all fields. This is important as far as getting a break in baseball."

Irv began in organized baseball in 1946 with Santa Barbara and first came to the majors in 1950 with Washington. He was traded to the Yankees in May of 1952."
