1953 Yankee of the Past: Gus Niarhos

GUS NIARHOS

"Gus signed a  Yankee contract in 1941 while playing City League ball in Binghamton. Except for three years of military service, he was in the Yankee chain until '46. He was named to the all-star team of every minor league in which he played.
After hitting .321 for Kansas City in '47, Gus came up to the Yankees to stay. He was sold to the White Sox in 1950 and came to the Red Sox in November of '51."
