1957 Back-O'-The-Card: Bobby Richardson

"Bobby joins his Denver teammate Tony Kubek on the Yankee roster this season. Last year at Denver he had the third highest batting mark in the American Association with .328, placing just behind Tony.
Bobby started in baseball in 1953 with Norfolk and advanced to Binghamton for his first full season in '54. That year he batted .310 with 29 doubles and 55 runs batted in. At Denver in '55, Bobby hit .296.
He's a fine fielder both at second base and at shortstop."
