Bob was obtained from Baltimore after the '54 season. He led the American League with 21 wins in 1958."

1962 Back-O'-The-Card: Tom Tresh (1962 rookie card)

"With Tony Kubek back in the Army, Tom will be bidding for the job left open at shortstop this season. The young rookie has the potential to develop into a top-flight major leaguer, and Manager Houk will be watching Tom closely this spring.
Tom finished fourth in hitting in the International League last year."

1962 Back-O'-The-Card: Ralph Terry

"Ralph moved into the No. 2 slot on the Yankees' staff last season, as the young right-hander finally realized his potential.
The tall (6-3) ace started with Binghamton in 1954, winning 11 games as an 18-year-old. Before last season Ralph's biggest season was 1958, with Kansas City. He started with the Yankees, was traded to Kansas City and returned to New York."
