"The only problem that Tony presents to the Yankee high command is where to play him. Originally an infielder, he showed such great ability when Casey Stengel tried him out in the outfield that he's ready to play both positions.
Despite his brief minor league career, Tony has created tremendous attention. At Quincy in 1955 he led his league in hits and last year placed second in the American Association in batting."
-1957 Topps No. 312
