"Once every few years a player makes the unbelievable jump from Class D to the major leagues in one season. Roland Sheldon accomplished the feat in half that time, for he spent only two and a half months in Class D.
The young right-hander was to be farmed out to a Triple-A club once the '61 season began, but his stuff won him a steady Yankee job. He has a fine assortment of pitches.
Yankee scouts found Roland when he was in college. He attended the University of Connecticut."
