"After enjoying a highly successful season at Shreveport last year, Ken was brought up to the Yankees for a trial. He did well, batting .333 in six contests. Although he played in only 99 games in the Southern Association in 1959, he was the league's No. 7 man in the home run department.
Ken was in military service in 1955 and 1956. He was optioned to Richmond by the Yanks on May 18, 1960."

"Hunt is a long ball hitter who reported late last season from Shreveport in the Southern Association where he played in 99 games. His home run total for the year, 21, makes him a right-handed hitter who may fit into Yankee plans to replace Hank Bauer. Hunt drove in 74 runs with a .322 batting average."
